Yes it's the disk that will fix all your problems. If

fou have a copy of Sensible World of Soccer then
you'll have doubtless encountered all the little
1 i-ettes that slipped through the original net.
this particular three and a half inches of blue
elastic is the solution.

/ following the clear instructions on the disk
les you will be able to update your original
nglish version of SWOS with all the little bug
fixes courtesy of Sensible themselves. It's easy to
do and will only take up 10 minutes or so of your

valuable time.

We've listed as many of the changes as we
could find room for but there a whole host of
other things that get fixed too! For instances, all
the teams are updated, so Andy Cole is already at
United without you having to buy him, and at
last you can format a disk from within the game!

For non-owners of the game there's even a
playable demo to tempt you to make the
purchase. So, if you fancy playing as Newcastle
United, you can give that a bash too and see
what you've been missing for the past few
months. Away you go...

ut Disk One in your drive and follow the on-screen prompts to load
the demo of Brutal - Paws of Fury. As you would expect with a
beafem-up. some of the moves are fairly complex, especially when
you consider that the two characters in our one or two-player demo
version, Rhai Rat and Kendo Coyote, are complete in every respect,
special moves and all.

Basic fighting techniques

The joystick controls the characters' movements. Left and right are
obvious, while up and down enable you to jump and crouch
respectively. To get your character to punch or kick, press either ALT on
the keyboard or fire on your joystick. To punch or kick harder, hold the
fire button down or hold down ALT on the keyboard. While you do
this, watch the bars in the top corners of the screen. These are each
fighter's power meters, and when they are full they will punch or kick
as hard as possible.

To throw a punch, move the joystick forward (centre, up or down) and
press the fire button.

To perform a kick, centre the joystick (centre, up or down) and press
the fire button.

ust to cram the disks to their capacity we've included this fun little
kids game that everybody will enjoy. You'll all be familiar with the
Match or Snap concept, where you lay pairs of cards face down and then
systematically turn them over and try to remember where the other half
of the pair is. When you successfully match a pair they disappear, get it
wrong and the cards go back to being face down. So, see how good
your memory is and plug in your mouse. Thinkamania is the best version
of this type of game we've seen in the Public Domain to date. Simply
follow the on-screen instructions to get the demo to depack. What on
Earth could be simpler?

RFVII / / AMIGA ACTION

Sensible Software/Time Warner Int
All Amigas

miga Action, in conjunction with
Sensible Software, are proud to
bring you the bug-fix disk that will
solve most if not all of your Sensible
World of Soccer blues. Many of the
problems you've written in and told us
about will be corrected thanks to this
handy program, and there's a list below
so you know exactly what it does.
You'll need a UK version of the game
for the bug-fixer to work, so most
pirates are out of luck! And don't fret if
you aren't fortunate enough to own a
copy of SWOS because there's a demo
on there that allows you to play as
Newcastle against Manchester United.

Loading the update

Boot with the coverdisk in the drive.
When it has loaded you will initially be
asked to insert your original SWOS Disk
One. Do this and follow all the on-
screen prompts. Sorted!

What it includes

Here are some (but not all) of the
changes. There simply isn't room to
print some of the more minor onesl

F10 key (crowd chants on/off) now

works for A500.

Italian League now gives three points

for a win.

Players will eventually shake off knocks.

Right and left sided players can now

swap without such a drastic effect on

performance.

Edit Tactics has been altered, but not

drastically. Sensible wish to point out to

people complaining about difficulty that

teams can improve up to 20% if this

option is used correctly.

Game no longer crashes occasionally

when the sub goalie dives.

You can format a disk from within the

game (HURRAH!)

Updated team data.

You can activate the bench to change

formation or swap players around the

pitch (you can't substitute them) when

the goalie has the ball.

You can mix and match game types

(Playing/Coaching/Result) in all

competitions.

Player Coach and Coach teams are no

longer as severely disadvantaged

against computer opposition.

Attackers and wingers have been

boosted.

The way a player's value is calculated

has been changed and there is a value

boost for goalscorers.

Tactics of the front two have been

improved for 4-4-2 formations.

Home teams have a slight advantage

over away teams.

Team form is affected by their current

league position.

Form is more variable because players

now have good and bad days.

There is much, much more to enjoy. You
probably won't notice it all, but we
promise that it makes the game better!
Trust us, this disk is essential.

READ CAREFULLY

Here are the instructions on
how to update your original
SWOS disks. Be careful though
because neither Amiga Action
or Sensible Software can
~: any liability for you
ng too thick to read
properly. Here goes.

Put your coverdisk in the
drive and wait for the logo to
!>ear. Continue to wait for .
few seconds until you are
~Tesented with an option of
ning the demo or updating
OS. Choose the update.
You will be prompted to
insert a blank disk for
formatting. You shouldn't be
able to format over your
inals. but don't try
y way Once the format is
nplete, label this disk
OS update Disk Two.
Insert the coverdisk back
nto DFO and click OK. Files
ill now be loaded from the
disk into memory. You will
soon be prompted to enter
your new SWOS update Disk
lick OK to save the files
memory to the disk.
You will now be requested
to insert your ORIGINAL SWOS

Disk Two. These last
two swaps will then be

Do these four words mean the Amiga is dead?

am tho Official UK Amiga
Newsline, Friday April 21 199S]

•

tiring the last few days
leading up to the
bidding process for
Commodore, it became clear that
Escom and their associates, or Dell
Computers, would have the
financial muscle to overbid our
independently financed offer.
Faced with these circumstances
the UK management buyout team
took the decision to withdraw
early and work with the winning
bidder. In this way our ability to
achieve our original objective of
re-establishing the Amiga in a
prominent position in the
marketplace would be

maximised."

What next?

But what does this mean? Are
Escom (the apparent victors)
willing to work with Commodore,
or do they want the technology
for themselves? Will they expand
on the existing blueprints for a
new Amiga and breathe new life
into the market or will they kill
the Amiga off? And why? Was it
Sarge? Was it Rosemary, the
telephone operator? Or Henry,
the mild-mannered janitor?

Unfortunately these questions
go unanswered this month, as a
meeting between Commodore
and their arch rivals-turned-
prospective business partners was
to take place shortly after the
magazine had gone to press.
Obviously we'll know more then,
but there's not a lot we can do to
tell you about it at the moment.
You've got two options, either
ring the hotline number below for
the latest info, or wait until next
month when we'll endeavour to
bring you the full sordid tale.

You'll go blind

This month ELSPA has, as usual, been busy
fighting against software piracy and
debauchery, and as usual, they're quite
happy to tell us about it. This time they've been
calling upon the Home Office to increase police
resourcing and training to help in the battle
against black market computer pornography. It's
clear to us that increased funding is essential,
after all, it's not like the police have anything more
important to do is it? Rape, murder, robbery, fuzzy
digitised pictures of scantily clad women in 'erotic' poses.
We're sure you'll agree, all equally serious offences.

John Loader, man of a thousand opinions, says, "Too few police forces
in the UK have computer literate officers in their obscene publications
units, and those that do are so inundated with work that they only have
the resources to tackle the most unpleasant paedophile computer
pornography. A large amount of material has to fall by the wayside.

The fight against pornography is not helped by a belief that it is
difficult to obtain a conviction in court for all but the most obnoxious
material. Because of the way that computer pornography is particularly
accessible by children, we believe that the Home Office should issue
guidelines advising courts to interpret the Obscene Publications Act when
dealing with computer pornography as if children were the intended
audience."

Serious stuff, and as usual we'll be monitoring developments carefully.

Centre of excellence

When we first saw the
Combi-Centre we
couldn't help but wonder
how we ever managed
without one. Many has been
the time wrjen we've said,
"You know, we could really
do with a tacky plastic unit
specifically designed to group
together in a compact and
neat arrangement the Amiga
CD32, SX1 Expansion,
monitor, keyboard, disk drive
and other peripherals." Well

now our prayers have been
answered, for that is exactly
what the Combi-Centre from
Premier Developments is.

But that's not all. With
incredible foresight. Premier
have developed the
workstation to provide a
snug fit for what they
consider to be the inevitable
release of a top loading
A1200 CD Rom unit. This of
course relies heavily on the
return of Commodore as a

strong force in the market.

If you feel that your life is
incomplete without a Combi-
Centre, they are priced at
£49.99 in Flat Packed Self
Assembly, and are available
from all good computer
outlets. If you'd like further
details they can be obtained
from Premier Developments,
4 Third Avenue, Warboys,
Huntingdon, Cambs, PEW

IS THIS THE ULTIMATE IN VIRTUAL CAM NO?

Virtual

Virtual reality technology is about to take a giant leap
forward thanks to Aura Systems Inc. This American
company (who we'd never heard of until their
impressive-looking and colourful press release arrived on our
desks earlier this month), was set up in 1987 by a group of
scientists and engineers primarily to facilitate, "product
development, commercialisation and sales of systems and
components using patented and proprietary electromagnetic
technologies including electromagnetic high force actuator and

actuated mirror

devices."

Now here at Amiga
Action we haven't got
a clue what any of that
means, but in our
opinion anyone who
can use such big words
must know what
they're talking about.
And what is the result of all these years of painstaking
research? The Interactor Vest, a product which it is claimed will
add the elusive third dimension to gaming around the world,
the ability to 'feel' the action taking place on screen.

Imagine the scene, you're playing Mortal Kombat II

and you take a crushing, finishing blow to the ribs from

your opponent. A series of magnetic devices will

around a bit within the vest (which as you can

see looks like one of those Laser Quest

efforts), and give you a good crack at the

same time, thus adding to the realism of

the game. It is unclear at the moment

how the vest will react to the death

moves so popular in some of the

games these days, but you would

hope the developers have thought

to put in a few safety precautions.

If not God help us all!

The intensity of the device
can be altered, allowing you to
control the ferocity of the blows
that it delivers. This allows
pansies and sado masochists
alike to get total fulfilment
from their gaming.

Actually, having said that,

the vest isn't just limited to

computer and console games,

because it will connect to just

about any device that emits

sound - television and music are

both fair game, although we

wouldn't recommend that

anyone connects it to Paul

Roundell's backside.

You'll be able to immerse

yourself in the action of your

f favourite films, actually feel the bass

in your most played tunes, or if like

Andy Sharp you're into 'rock* music, a

small man jumps out of the vest, carves a

pentagram on your chest and starts

chanting. Backwards.

If you're excited by what you've

read of this new product you may wish to know

that the Interactor Vest should be available from

Future Zone and Game stores very soon and it will be

priced somewhere around the hundred quid mark.

There are also rumours of a planned thermal version for

those chilly winter evenings and an Interactor String Vest for

the more fashion conscious gamers, although it hasn't yet been

disclosed as to quite how this would work.

Every game in
Amiga Action is
given the mark we
feel it deserves.
Computer games
are entertainment, and we mark
all of the games largely on the
enjoyment factor they are likely
to provide. Sound, graphics,
originality and gameplay are all
scrutinised by us, your friendly
know it alls. Price rarely enters
into the equation, although a
particularly expensive game (or
the opposite) may be looked

upon in a slightly
different light.
Basically, it all
equates to value
for money. A
picture of the
hardware the
game is created for is shown on
every revue, and unless it is an
enhanced or specific version,
the machine will be an A600
(which also covers the A500).
We know you aren't daft
(most of you) and leave you to
interpret the mark for yourself.
If the game plays significantly
differently on another Amiga
machine, we'll tell you in a

Where do you go when the dust has
settled around a dead M. Bison and
your Streetfighter II character
returns to his very own box on the intro
screen, destined for a stationary, pixellated
life? Why, you move on to Mortal Kombat;
make the sprites smaller and less cartoony,
give them more fluid moves and go hell for
leather in an attempt to dispose of that bloke
with loads of arms. And then what?

and clank your -■. a) a< ross a futuristic backdrop

basketball court and deal a couple of blows to the
infamously mac abre Puppaz.

Should the aggression have somehow failed to
work its was '»ut of your system by this point, the

obvious, sensible, and of course responsible thing
to do, is consume dangerously large amounts of
alcohol and have a tight in a pub lavatory with
someone who may or mav not have been "looking
at you funny".

Gametek disagree, arguing that having
clobbered your way through numerous characters
of differing skill, appearance and size, not to
mention a good few Metal Mickey clones and a
cloth thing on a stick, you're just about ready for
the next challenge - fighting with fluffy animals.
Well, not fluffy perhaps, but animals certainly.

Johnny Morris

The Dali Llama, not content with being a spiritual
leader and friend of the Beatles, is also - through
crafty animal-related wordplay - the chief animal
in, it would seem, the whole world. Every year he
scours the globe for the greatest warriors and takes
them back to his island (which may or may not be
in Tibet), to find out who possesses the true
Warrior Spirit".

And frankly that's fine by me, because in the
computer game world of superfluous plots, it has
to be said that the beat'em-up story is more
redundant than most.

There are 10 characters, and contrary to

recent beat'em-up trends,
they're all completely
original. Which, er, they'd
have to be really, what with
them being animals and all.
A mixed bunch, they range
from the quasi-ferocious
sounding Karate Croc to the
prospective punchbag that Is
Kung-Fu Bunny.

All of them lean towards
the cartoon-like In
appearance, but the first
thing of note is the speed at
which they move.
After choosing your lighters and waiting tor
the bell to sound against whichever of the
backgrounds you're battling across, you
manipulate the joystick left or right and your
animal fairly hammers towards its adversary. They
are in fact almost too fast, but not quite.

At the beginning each character has a
complement of six basic moves with which to do
battle, and since at this stage, thanks to the
impressive speed, a simple punch or kick is all
you can hope to carry out with any degree of
intention, that's enough. As the game progresses
and you win more bouts, the generous old Dali
Llama awards you with special moves which, if
you manage to perfect them in a set time, are

interesting way".
Admittedly there are some
of these in Brutal too. but at the
same time it's refreshing to see. for
example, a character take someone's head in his
hands and give it a bloody good butt. There is also
a tendency in many beat'em-ups (and this irks me
greatly), for a certain lack of interactivity whilst a
move is being carried out - almost as if the
computer is saying, "Well done, you've pulled off
a bit of a special move there, now sit back and
watch this matey boy." Again though, due to the
the speed at which the sprites spin about, there's
none of this in Brutal, because well animated and
nice-looking as it is, the move is over in double
quick time and you're back in the thick of things
before you can say, "Nasty welt on the inside of
your index finger caused by joystick friction".

doesn't try to be Mortal Kombat either. Bv and

rutal is a beaf em-up with animal sprites, and I
should imagine it wasn't too difficult to
program. The bestial connection may well be looked
upon as a gimmick, and to be fair it does provide a
useful angle from which to sell the product, but
with easy payability and great graphics, it's so
much more than that. The programmers could
perhaps have gone a little bit further in using the
traits of the animals, but their characteristic
strengths are included to a certain degree, and
along with the cartoony effects they make Brutal an
excellent game that is very much worth playing.

'hat is it with the Amiga and beat'em-ups
lately? We've seen loads, and there's
hardly been a poor one amongst them. Now
there's Brutal: Paws of Fury, and whilst it's
certainly no Mortal Kombat. it's yet another
good quality punch' em product

Battle Trucks has got
in a bit of a spin. He thi
back in the PD section

Before I begin this review in earnest Til
get all the usual idea behind the game
stuff over with, then I'll tell you exactly
why not to buy Battle Trucks.

The basic idea behind the game is to defeat
your opponent over a short circuit by racing as
fast as you can to get a full screen ahead of them;
they'll then lose a life. To achieve total victory you
have to do this not once, not twice, but three
times. Alternatively you can barge them into one
of the obstacles on the circuit, whelher it be water
or erm, water.

If you have the patience to persist through
stage one, the circuits will become progressively
more difficult. I feel I must point out here that the
word 'circuit' is used in the broadest possible
sense, as each stage involves pretty much a
straight run to the top of the screen and then back
to the bottom again.

As for the controls, well, to be honest, the

1 whole thing is almost unplayable,
lust attempting a slight alteration
in direction can lead to an
involuntary 3h() degree turn. This

makes everything more
frustrating than you could
ever imagine, and your
chances of keeping up with a
computer controlled truck are
virtually nil.

There are a few things you can do to halt your
opponent's progress, and these involve entering a
shop at the beginning of the game. If you've got
the dosh you can buy a winch to stop the other
driver from getting too far ahead, thereby
improving your chances of winning a race. There
are a small number of missiles to choose from,
and for the less violent amongst you there is
always the nitro option - a lot less messy but it
makes life more difficult in the long run,

If you persevere through the races you will
receive bonus money to improve your truck,
weapon supply or nitros. Other than that there's
nothing left to say. Sorry. A

hen I was presented with Battle Trucks to
review I thought the short straw had been
handed to me by default, and guess what? I was
right. The most right I've ever been. Ever. This really
is as poor as they come. Spread over three disks -
yes three disks - Battle Trucks has probably been
the most pointless waste of my time ever. When I
reach my death bed I'll feel cheated of a couple of
hours of my life. How I wish I could have them back
now. If you even consider buying this you will know
exactly how I feel. Can I please, please, please go

REVIEW

TERM SELECT ION

Every software publisher in the land must
surety be aware of the manic obsession
that an alarmingly large number of
Amiga owners have with football
management games. So, I was somewhat
taken aback to discover that Ultimate Soccer
Manager is the first serious foray into this
particular arena for those undisputed kings of

strategy. Impressions.

With their self-imposed
brief of providing the
masses with "the besl in
computer strategy and
simulation", we can only
assume they have been
biding their time until the\
had an extremely strong
product which would be
able to compete with the
Premier and Championship
Managers of this world.

And guess what? Ultimate Soccer Manager lives
up to its name in every respe< i and looks set (<>
kick all the competition into Row Z of the stand!

The preview which we ran in last month's
issue had me a bfl worried. The 9 reenshots we
were sent b\ Daze (who are responsible for
marketing the product), looked superb, but there

s disturbing ulk of a number of new features
which had been included to take into account the
1 lunging face 01 modem football Rungs, bribes
and FA inquiries were to be mioiporaled into a
game of this type for the first tune, and to be
honest, I wasn't happy. Being a law-abiding type
of guv myself (the sort of person who feels guilty at
the mere Mght ol ( i police can, all ihis illegal
iigu.r\ ki r> was enough to make my blood
boil. I mean, if you can't win by fair means, then

what's the poinl Anywa> all this is largely

irrelevant, as the finished version of the game
allows the M.it< h Rigging option to be turned off.
Hurrah for truth, honesty and justice!

The depth ot gameplay is also entirely up to
i. You can choose to simply act as the manager
oi a KHitball team lie vou are in charg. m learn
affairs* .-rylii: e - just like realitv), or you

can lake on board more responsibility and attempt
to run the whole club irom top to l*>tiom.

divisions and the Conference. Once you've
selected vour favourites you then have to decide
how difficult you want to make things for yourself
Fam v being in charge of Manchester United with
a pox\ J 51 1 grand in the bank? (Let's see you sign
Andy Cole now!) Alternatively you could take up
the reigns at Halifax Town with a cool five million
at your disposal - the choice is entirely yours

Plaver names and team details are thankiullv
real - there's none 01 ihis Ian Rash playing lor
Everpool business - and an editing feature allows

1 to change the name- 01 the players so you can
take an tnsfers into account.

Perhaps thr best thing about Ultimate Soccer
Manager (apart from the option to lurn Match
Rigging 1 it) is the presentation.
Every aspect of the day-to-da\
running oi a professional football
club can be accessed via a series
ot extremely friendl) s< reens and
menus. The main game screen
shows an excellent representation
of vour club's stadium complete
with all the usual money-making
paraphernalia such as programme
kiosks and the club shop. From
here it's a short trip to the bank,
the chairman and your own office.

Your plush management suite contains all the
information you could possibly want to know
about your club, the backroom staff and the
players. As well as the mountainous filing cabinet
where these details are stored, there is a fax
machine winch enables you to carry out last
minute deadline transfers, a noticeboard where
you will receive messages from vour chairman and

bank manager, and a telephone (used mainly lor
bribes and betting in the Match Rigging option).

You will also notice a television set lurking in
the corner of your office. Click on this and you'll
rind Impressions' very own teletext system -
Impressionstext - at your service. All the dav's
results, fixtures and current league tables are at
your finger tips, and 'Fast text' has thoughtfully
< 'ti included so you can access the important
pages at the click of a mouse button. As far as
new innovations go, this is a masterstroke, and I'll
bet there are a large number of people kicking
themselves for not having thought of It first.
B< lore each match you are expected to
perform the usual task of picking a team that you

hope will do your club
justice, and all the
plavci statistics and
different formations we
have come to know and
love are there to help.
A nf< e feature is the

inclusion of an assistant
manager who can be
called upon to give his
views on the way you
should approach an
upcoming game and whether or not he feels you
•re fielding your strongest side. He om e
suggested a rather bizarre 3-1-6 formation for an
away game that unsurprisingly ended in a 4-1
humiliation at the hands of the, er, mighty
Southend United, but you are free to ignore his
suggestions if you see fit.

The matches themselves are viewed in a small
window from a top-down perspective, but unlike

are easily distinguishable, and if sou feel things
aren't going exactly as planned, you can instruct
i ertain members of your side to push up, drop
back or even man mark opposing players who
seem to be seeing rather a lot of the ball.

This is the first time that such a hands-on
approach has been offered in a football
management game, and if you take the game
seriously this is one feature that you will love.

The ultimate

The amount of detail that has been included in the
game is absolutely breathtaking. If you choose lo
play USM at its most complex level you will find
yourself in control of everything from re-
developing the ground to setting the price of
scarves in the club shop. At one [>oint I even
found myself transferring money from my club's
current account to a deposit account because the
bank manager suggested that it would earn a
higher interest rate there. It there's any aspect of
running a football club that isn't included in this
game I'd like to know what it is!

Ultimate Soccer Manager is without doubt the
most complex and comprehensive football
management game ever, t don't usually like to
make predictions about how a game will perform
when it is released, but I'm
thoroughly convinced this is
g< nng to dominate the Amiga
I harts for months.

the graphics are absolutely superb and the icon and

up the basics within minutes and have mastered the

best football management game the Amiga has

REVIEWED BY NEIL

SECOND OPINIO

« s a big Premier Manager fan it would be
Lvery easy for me to accuse this game of
erring on the bland side. However, that
wouldn't be entirely fair, because it is possibly
the most comprehensive game of its kind, and
to management fans is nothing short of manna.

OPINION BY Paul

I F F E R E

C E S

"he 500 version will feature the usual 32 colours
as opposed to the A1200's 256. and the access
time between the different menu screens will be
slower. On the plus side it will come on only two
disks (one less than the 1200), so disk swapping
should be kept to a minimum.

A beautiful port.
Far prettier than
most you'll
encounter

Here we have it! The
world as it was in
1650. Very similar to
how it looks today in
all honesty

ere's your
chance to
become

A calm day on
the seas as you
leave Liverpool
behind

exactly what you've always dreamed of - a
merchant sea trader in the seventeenth
century. Er, hurrah!

Initially you must choose where your patriotic
duties lie and you are given the chance to
determine your nationality. Your choice
determines the home port of your ship, obviously,
and this is where the problems begin. Traders of
differing nationalities were fickle back then you
see, no sooner had you been living it up with your
Dutch counterparts than you were at war with
them. Things were a bit like that back in the good
old days, apparently.

Anyway, putting pettv international rivalry
aside for a moment, the first job is to get your ship
out to sea. But, hold your horses lor just one
second, before setting sail you will need to stock
up on supplies of rations, arms and cargo. These

items can be purchased from a
number of different merchant
buildings which are to be found
in the general vicinity of each
dock. This is where the trading
bit comes into the game, as the
price and quantity of goods
varies at each port of call.
The taverns are also an
essential part of the proceedings,
and these dens of iniquity must
be frequented if you are to
recruit soldiers, apprentices and

sailors. As with all
the other
commodities in
High Seas Trader, it
pays to shop
around, as the
quality of these
human resources
can differ wildly.
After all, there's no
point in setting sail for new continents with a
ragtag crew of disease-riddled sea dogs is there?
It's also important to employ a helmsman before
setting out. He'll keep his eyes peeled for storms,
shallow water, and more importantly, pirates.

The charthouse is one particular place you'll
need to frequent, as here you can gain access to a
number of maps showing the waters and ports in
different areas. As long as you know exactly
where you're going you shouldn't run into too
many problems, but take a brief saunter into
uncharted waters and you could end up with a
mutiny on your hands as the crew become
distrustful of your leadership abilities.

Land-Ho!

In some ports you can even pick up passengers.
Some of these travellers are decidedly dodgy, but
there are plenty of others who are much more
legitimate. It's entirely down to you whether you
feel it's worth the risk of ferrying them around, but
some will pay you masses of gold to cart them
about, so if you're a little low on funds it may be
well worth your while to go in their direction.
If, by a combination of skill and luck, you
become a wealthy trader, you will be offered land
which is for sale. Obviously you don't have to
spend your hard earned cash on such
extravagances, but the larger your estate the
higher your all-important nobility status will be.
There will also be traders who will offer you

around the sale or rental costs of the available

at least - depends upon which character you have

Each "comedy" character has his or her own

football management games where a significant
length of time is spent making sure everything is
just right before the action starts for real.

You need to decide which pizzas to offer,
how much to charge, which furniture to buy, how
to lay out the tables, and which - if any -
decorative touches are required. You need to buy
kitchen equipment - well an oven at least - hire
staff and decide which food suppliers to patronise.

OPINION BY CHICKEN

REVIEW AMIGA ACTION

ACTION REVIEW

I don't usually hold out much hope for this
type of thing. There are a few similar
games, such as Civilization from
MicroProse, which are capable of holding my
attention for stupidly long periods of time,
but the majority, of which The Patrician is as
good an example as any. bore me rigid.

I was somewhat surprised therefore when
VOD turned out to be pretty enjoyable.
My suspicions were aroused when I
saw the packaging and the distinct
lack of screenshots on the box. as
this usually implies that the
graphics are a bit naff, but no,
when I began to play the game it
soon became clear that it is packed
full of nice touches and little
animations. The graphical menu screens
are very user friendly; moving the pointer

over anything of use will tell you what e*
option does, so you don't have to refer

to the manual for help.

Before you begin in earnest you I oose to

play either as yourself or as a famous explorer
You then select your home nation and determine
the difficulty of the game by setting the number of
other explorers who are out there lookin the
same juicy spot of land as yourself.

Obviously the more players you select {you
can have up to four or leave the computer to do
the hard work), the more difficult it becomes, as
you will all be vying for the same land and there
will inevitably be more battles!

Anybody who's plaved Civilization will
recognise the control system. The keypad is used
to guide your unit wherever you like, but \: \ou're
struggling with an AfcOO then a mouse t Ik k will
do just as well. In fact this isn't the only similarity
to Civ, but naturally that's no bad thing.

The first mistake I made was not redding the
instruction manual. I just waded in there
regardless, and after spending ages making my
vessel seaworthy, I set sail for pastures new only to
have three quarters of my crew die of hunger
Ix'fore they were out of port. Ah well, that's a
lesson learned for next time eh?

PAUL McNALLY has yet to find his

choice to fill the shoes of an explorer

Preparing the ship takes quite a bit of time,
and this is where the game branches off sharply
from Sid Meier's creation. You are presented with
a panoramic view of the docks where your boat is
moored, and a quick shuffle of the mouse will
reveal buildings such as offices, pubs and trading
establishments. The first place to visit is the local
bar, where crewmen can be employed. Soldiers
may also be recruited and carried if you're
planning a bit of an assault on a hostile native
camp - there have to be some casualties in your
quest lor world domination, and as usual they're
the locals!

Land ahoy!

Having recruited your boys, now is as good a time
as any to buy some quality gear to trade. There are
a selection of goodies available and you are well
advised to load them on to the ship. When all the
preparations have been made you can then go off
into the wide blue yonder and see what the world
has to throw at you!

It may take many days sailing before you spot
land, and the frustrating thing is that it's quite ^k
possible to sail obliviously past a whole continent

have to come dean and say that I really enjoyed it
in the end. Voyages of Discovery owes a fair bit to
Mr Meier, but it updates a lot of his ideas and adds
some new ones too. It's by no means a perfect
game, but it is engrossing, and graphically it is very
nice indeed as far as this sort of thing goes. Black

Steve McNally dons his best
doublet and hose and steps

hat a shame. Tower of Souls from
Black Legend started off promisingly
with some exciting new features
that promised to breathe new life into a tired
market but by the time I finished playing I
had unearthed a number of annoying faults
that unfortunately drag it down to the
mediocre level that my first impressions had
so strongly denied.

Briefly, it's an RPG in the Legend vein
(Mindscape not Krisatis). although as I said
earlier there are some quite interesting new
features. Firstly there is Virtual Joystick mode.
This allows the game to simulate the
movements of a joystick while retaining the
added flexibility that a mouse provides. A
quick tap of the spacebar results in a switch
between Virtual Joystick and normal mouse
mode, allowing you to both move around
easily and manipulate the objects within the
game. This improves payability no end. and
contributed significantly towards my
aforementioned positive impression.

However, as producers of roleplaying
games should know, long term enjoyment
and user-friendliness are vital components if
you're to maintain the player's interest for a
significant time, and unfortunatel y

and sadly this is just such a

when you have to worry about not stepping
on a scurrying rat or having to use pixel
perfect control to avoid a tiny flame on the
floor in case it eats away most of your life
force, it becomes annoying quite quickly.

The state of your hero's health is
represented by a face at the bottom of the
screen which starts off respectably enough,
but quickly turns more and more skeletal as
you begin to take hits. When you're
completely down to the bone you'll lose one
of your lives.

Highly frustrating

Another feature that manages to be
simultaneously quite good and highly
frustrating is the way in which you can open
doors. There is an interesting lockpicking
system which involves choosing the correct
pick to open a particular door and then
actually using the mouse to pick the lock. I'll

you have the correct key for a door
and turn it the wrong way, it might

necessary to the gameplay that is.
Don't get me wrong. Tower of Souls is in
no way a bad game, it's just that there are
some very poor and unnecessary additions
that tarnish what could have been an
excellent game. You'll need the patience of a

that far too many new players will be put off
by the less than satisfactory parts of an
otherwise user-friendly control system. Still,
it's not a bad little game having said all that,
it's just a shame that the same amount of
thought wasn't put into all ar

who can't be bothered reading the whole thing
and like to just look at the screenshots and read the
final comment, I'll summarise as best I can. Tower of
Souls is a good quality RPG/Arcade Adventure that
is unfortunately let down by some glaring flaws. A
little more thought in the design of certain features
and a little less dying would have gone a long way
towards getting this a score in the high eighties.
However, as it stands, the mark will have to be a lot
less, and to be honest it would be very difficult to
justify anything more.

team training? Is the criticism in the club fanzine
indicative of how the supporters view your management?
Who do you listen to - your staff, the board, or the
fans? You'll need answers to these questions - because
ultimately the buck stops with youl

Individual Team Talk allows you to give players specific and individual instructions
before the big match. So you may ask your right back to push up, or your left midfielder to
tuck in. If you believe one of your opponents has a suspect temperament, order one of your
players to wind him up and you may get him sent off!

Features that add superb arcade action to top class management.

I had the biggest sense of deja-vu ever this
morning. I first reviewed Speedball 2
donkey's years ago when I was working as
a humble spoon on ST Action (RIP), and since
then the Amiga version (and indeed every
other version), has been massively popular. In
fact, this Bitmap Brothers' creation has gone
down in history as one of the true classic 16-
bit computer games.

Anyway, it arrived on my desk for review vet
again today, but this time in its new shiny CD32
format. Would it be enhanced or would it simply
be a live-year-old port of a once-playable game?

Well to put you out of your misery without
further ado, CD32 Speedball is enhanced, and it
hasn't just got a CD quality soundtrack tacked on
to it; graphical changes are there too. I was a bit
disappointed when the intro ran because it's
exactly the same as ever, but at least the tune has
been altered for the better.

Initially, apart from the music, fans of the
original will wonder what all the fuss is about.

Team selection and the
special power-ups are
identical lo the good old
days, but once the match
starts you'll probably notice
some serious tarting up in the
graphics department.

The players are infinitely
more colourful, the ball has
been changed to a lovely
golden colour and the icons
and pick-ups just look a lot
neater than ever before.
Sound-wise, gone are the
cries of Ice-Cream! Ice-
Cream! and in come a whole
load of sampled crowd
effects and jeering which add greatly to the
atmosphere. All that's missing is a fat youth with a
black leather jacket and very little hair to abuse
the players as they make their way towards the
tunnel after a sending off. The musical score has

been changed too and it's

good quality CD stuff.

Now, if you've never
seen Speedball 2 before, this
next paragraph is for you.
Yes, it's the plot!

The game is set well into
the future and Speedball is
the most popular sport on
the planet. It's a son: of
Rollerball type layre and the
idea is to bash your
opponents senseless while
at the same time racking up
points by hitting targets and
scoring goals. If you decide
to play in a league format

there's a transfer market where you can bring in
star players to your squad to help out an ailing
season. The cash with which to buv these players
can be collected by picking up coins which
appear randomly on the metallic pitch as a game
progresses. And that's about it reallv. so it's time I
was made lo disappear. A

REVIEW AMIGA ACTION

Over the many years of Amiga Action's
existence, the game which has seen
most play here in the office has got to
be Pinball Fantasies on
the CD32. We couldn't
possibly keep track of
the number of dinner
hours we've wasted
hammering away at it,
but now there's a
brand new contender
for the crown and it
goes by the name of
Pinball Illusions.

Identical in almost
every way to the A1 200
version (apart from the inclusion of a full 60
minute in-game audio soundtrack for you to toe
lap along with), tins is just .is addit live .is its older

brother - although many have criticised it for
being a little bit too similar. The sequel, as I'm
sure you know, does however boast a number of

impressive new features,
multiball being perhaps
the most obvious.

People who bought
CD32s in the vain hope
that it would turn out to
be the dream machine
Commodore assured us
all it would be, must be
feeling pretty hard done
by these days, especially
with the new super
consoles looming large
on the horizon. However, events like this one
make all that suffering seem almost worthwhile.
Not quite, but almost. A

Team 17's overhead
racer received mixed
reviews in the
computer press, but here
at AA we loved it, and
still do. The CD32 version
is, surprise surprise,
identical in every way to
its disk based equivalent
so if you've got both
machines and already
own the game you may
as well stop reading now.

Featuring numerous
different circuits and a good
range of cars, each with
different handling
characteristics, ATR
provides enough variety to
keep you interested for a
very long time. The only real criticism of the game
is that you perhaps aren't shown enough of the
track to make the game playable to the beginner,
but apart from that minor niggle everything else is
more than acceptable-
It's a shame more wasn't done to enhance the
game for the CD based format, but I would have
thought we're all more than used to that sad fact
by now. For good, no-nonsense racing action.
Team 1 7 have delivered the goods once more,
and while ATR may not be the most technically
advanced game in the world, it is still one of the
more enjoyable CD32 efforts to have inhabited
the shelves recently. Jk

AMIGA ACTION REVIEW

Shadow Fighter came out of nowhere.
One minute everyone was happily
awaiting the launch of Mortal Kombat II,
then all of a sudden Gremlin announced the
release of Shadow Fighter and all the
magazines started doing cartwheels over how
good it was.

PUBLISHER 3 PRICE £2

And now CD32 owners get the chance to play
the enhanced 1 200 version on their very own
'wonder machine'.

The game features 16 different characters
fighting in a number of varied locations, and
although I still cant pick a favourite between this
and MKII, I know plenty of people who actually

consider Gremlin's effort to
come out on top.

By their very nature,
beat'em-ups tend to favour the
console style control pads,
hence the plethora of games of
this type that are in existence,
but when you consider the
simplicity of the moves
involved, playing Shadow
Fighter with a joystick was
never that difficult anyway.

So, if you own a CD32, get
out there and give the macabre
Pupazz the kicking of his life.
He might be grinning inanely
in this screenshot but by the
time you've finished with him
he'll be weeping in pathetic
fashion. Probablv. A

REVIEWED BY Ste

ORIGINAL SCO

At last, a CD32 game with a notable
difference from its floppy counterpart.
Okay, so it's nothing to get over-
excited about, but at least they've made the
effort. Basically the game is 'audio enhanced',
well it is if you have previously owned the
standard 500 version.

This means that if you've

experienced the bowling

alley atmosphere on the

A1200, you'll be struggling

to find any difference

whatsoever. Anyway, whatever the case, have a

bit of a revel in the sumptuous sounds, ambience

and announcements of a real
tenpin bowling emporium.

Apart from that the game is, as
usual, identical to the disk
version, apart from the fact that
the CD seems to be lacking a
Create Player option, or at least
one that works. Fortunately this
doesn't detract too much from the
action, so if you're a tenpin
bowling fan who can't be
bothered to trudge down to the
local alley, look no further than
Kingpin.

For what Team 1 7 are at pains
to stress is an original budget
game, this is bargain city. JX

If you were around a few months ago
when we did our series of Internet

quick mentions of the World Wide Web.
Well, now's the time to take more of an in-
depth look at just what you can find on the
pretty side of the Internet. All you need to

a nice Internet provider such as Demon.

They'll be more than happy to give you any
technical information you might need, so don't

worry about being a beginner. EveryboHv (i.e. to
start somewhere. You'll also need a Web Browser
such as Amiga Mosaic. This is a clever piece of
software that allows text and pictures to be
displayed as they are sent down a modem line (it
should become apparent at this point that a fairly
pacey modem is required to save on ridiculously
large telephone bills).

The WWW is designed using a formal tailed

From the bizarre

sections, the
WWW is packed
with stuff you 7/
want to read at
least once

It all sounds like fun. but there is a limit to
how long it'll take belure you get boied <>r
computer related topics, and after spending a
couple of days on the porn sites you'll get fed up
of those too leither that or go blind,
whichever comes first). So. what else
is there to do when the initial
novelty wears off, and how much
use is it all going to be? Well, the
Web is iar more diverse than you
could ever possibly imagine

For an example of hov\ strange
things can get. let me relay a quick
story to you. Some time ago an
American serial killer ck>nated his
body to science as he was being
exec uted. Scientists seized on tbe
< hance to slice him up into 1 mm thic k. well, err
slices, and photograph him l>efore putting these
pictures up on the Internet for all to see. This is
obviously excellent research footage for anybody
doing biology, and the uses of the net for school

or college work are endless.

Virtually any research information you might
require is available, from art galleries in Pans to
college courses in New Jersey. If you need to do a
project on the Gulf War then all the material you
need is only a local phone call away. So, if you re
a struggling 1 fa year-old who can t afford a net
connection, tell your parents it's tor edut ational
purposes and let rip!

Other sites of interest are the NASA bases
which can provide up-to-date info on current
space missions, and rhe Cyrano server which will
make up love letters tor vou if you're completely
bobbins at writing your own -

chances are that it you're seriously

■ using your computer you won't

new sites being added every da\
you could spend the rest of your life
looking round the Internet.

Publisher Grandslam
PHe» £29.99

As far as golf licences go, Nick
Fa! do's Championship

Golf is about as high profile as
you could hope to get without
digging up Elvis Presley and
dressing him in plus fours. In the
world of hitting small balls with a
big stick, only the irate father of
Steve's under-age girlfriend can
out-do The Faldster, so it was
only right that he should have his
own game (Nick Faldo that is).

The fact that the game boasts
only two courses is a little disappointing, especially when
you consider that most golf games offer at least double this
amount. However, having said this, the disk version does
offer an extra two by way of a cheat mode, but, er, we don't
know how this would work on a CD32.

By going for a different graphical style from most other
similar games, Grandslam have got themselves a very nice
looking product, and the obscene difficulty level has been
toned down for the CD32 version to increase payability.
With a little joypad manipulation, impressive menus can be
made to appear, and players'-eye views can be altered in a
similar fashion.

In a corner of the market that isn't exactly flooded, it
seems odd that most offerings are of very high quality.
Faldo's doesn't match the payability of the PGA pair, and
isn't on a par with MicroProse Golf in terms of options or
realism, but the fact that it is tougher to get to grips with
than the rest means it is well worth your while if you meet
the old Own-a-CD32-and-Want-To-Play-a-Golf-Game criteria.

Bump 'n' Burn borrows graphics from Mario Kart,
payability from Lotus et al and combines them into a decent
- and different - racing game that wants to be Wacky Races.

You can choose to
drive as any one of a
number of bizarre
cartoon characters,
ranging from the
dashing Mr Fabulous
to a strange creature
that looks like one of
those Buck-Toothed
Beaver Brothers, but
isn't. All competitors
have their own vehicle
which, after a brief spoken introduction to the race, will set
off... er, on a quest for glory and race wins.

The tracks are set in a number of differing environments,
but these really only differ in terms of the graphics which
surround them. The roads are littered with pick-ups and
obstacles, and the obligatory money/shop option turns up in
comedy fashion at the end of each race allowing you to
spend your winnings.

For an Amiga race game it looks very different, and for
novelty value alone you might be tempted to take a look.
However, it soon becomes apparent that Bump 'n' Burn
plays in a very similar fashion to Lotus and its clones, and
doesn't come close to matching Skidmarks in terms of edge-
of-the-seat action.

Jetstrike is one of the best examples of the oft-repeated
adage, "Gameplay over graphics". Looking at this on a
supposedly 32-bit machine, anyone could be forgiven for
wondering what the hell was going on, and why they were
having the whizz taken out of them once again in such
unmerciful fashion. However, after half an hour's play, the
majority would be hard pressed to deny that they've become
addicted to what is a very good game indeed.

After a ludicrous yet perversely excellent introductory
song, you are faced with a choice of aircraft in which to
embark upon a number of missions revolving around rescues
and targeted explosions. Beginning each time from the
runway of an airfield, your craft must be guided into the air
- none too easy if your middle name is Spannerhands - and
on to its eventual destination. The controls take quite some
time to come to terms with, and when you think you've got
the hang of it the chances are you'll be presented with
problems that still make life very tricky indeed - but then
that's the fun of it.

Jetstrike is a serious gamesplayer's game: unattractive,
based on a simple idea, tricky to master yet fun to play, but

Everything Bullfrog touch turns to gold and Syndicate is
_ no exception. Set in a depressing vision of the future
where violence and industry rule, you control a team of
four cyborgs who work for a mysterious company bent on
controlling the world.

Stopping at nothing to achieve this global aim, your
team of agents are sent on mission after mission to
assassinate and kidnap certain key figures who are getting
in the organisation's way. As a result the game was
slapped a bit in some quarters for being very violent, but
magazine reviewers and the public alike loved it to bits.

The graphics are very small (just fractionally bigger
than Sensible Soccer size), but they're wonderfully detailed
and the whole thing oozes atmosphere. If you had to come
up with a downer you could say that the game has dated a
little and it's a bit slower than you'd like, but even so.
Syndicate manages to drag you in until the only thing on
your mind is total world domination.

If you missed out originally then at a bargain price it's a
dream come true. You'll find yourself spending an awful
lot of time with this classic.

Publisher Kixx XL
Price £16.99

A surprise budget release given that it comes on 11 disks.
Fate of Atlantis is still one of the best Amiga adventures
ever, and a welcome treat for those who missed it originally.
Indy - saver of mankind on numerous occasions - is back in
business, and this time he's battling it out with the Nazis.

The plot sees our whip-toting hero locked in a race with
the Third Reich to find a super-weapon. If Indy finds it the
world is safe, but if the bad lads get it the world is... not.
Spread over one of the largest playing areas ever seen in an
Amiga adventure, the game can be completed in up to three
ways, and the graphics are little short of stunning.

The excellent LucasArts interface makes the whole thing
a joy to play, and the puzzles, whilst in the main extremely
tricky indeed, rarely stray from the logical. So that only
leaves one problem: If you have a single drive, non-hard

I am reliably informed by my sad and spotty colleagues
that Manic Miner is one of the most fondly remembered
games of the, ahem, "halcyon" days of the Spectrum. By
the same token, long after the Amiga has careened out of
existence [Next week then, yeah? - Tongue In Cheek Ed],
Cannon Fodder will no doubt be looked back upon with
the same nostalgic sentimentality.

You head up a platoon of young soldiers in a
mindlessly fun quest to wipe out the enemy. Viewed from
an excellent slanted top-down perspective, the whole
thing is set across a range of levels including jungles,
snowy wastes, fortresses and deserty things.

You have rifles, a small quantity of grenades and
bazookas, and you also get the chance to control a
number of military vehicles via an absurdly easy mouse-
driven point-and-click interface. A successful mission
means military honours for your surviving soldiers while
the dead ones are remembered on the Boot Hill title
screen. Games can be saved after every fully completed
mission and insufficient soldiers spells the end of a game.

But you knew all that anyway.

This is a sort of Stardust meets Turrican,
and to be honest it's not half bad. You
control a sprite thing with a big gun
hammering around at the bottom of the
screen while asteroids drift around above
your head. When you shoot one of these
spinning boulders it splits up into two
smaller, generally quicker rocks that have
to be avoided and destroyed. The idea is to
blast away until there are no more rocks
left bouncing around.

I'm not well known as a lover of PD,
and there's no way I'm going to get carried
away by games like Super Obliteration.
However, I must admit this kept me
interested for at least twice as long as
most of the other games I looked at this
month, ie about 10 minutes. Worth
splashing out a pound for I suppose. Just.

ould consider looking at this month's PD selection

run by people who sit at their computer
24-hours a day with the curtains drawn on
the outside world, but don't let that put
you off too much.

The disk loads up with quite a nice
publicity still from the series, but from then
on it's a text-only fest that is a mine of
invaluable information for any dedicated
viewer. If you're an X-Files fan you'll find
everything you could possibly want to
know on this disk, including details of
every programme made so far, interviews
with the cast, and complete scripts from
some of the more popular episodes.

You'd have to be more than a touch
bland to send off for this, but if you like
the series and have no shame then you
aren't getting a bad deal.

Class E:
Lunar

Module

f- **!*■•

17 Bit

This is blessed with
one of the best intro
sequences I've seen on
a PD game, but
unfortunately I
couldn't find any way
to skip it, and seeing as

ee?ee

if s quite lengthy, it

became incredibly

annoying after a

couple of runs through.

That aside. Lunar

Module is actually

quite good.

You are called

upon to fly and land a

space ship on various

fuel pods (don't ask me

why because I haven't

got a clue), if s as

simple as that. The

appeal stems from the fact that you have

to be extremely careful when landing the

module - you have to make sure that it

lands squarely on the pod and doesn't

come down too fast
Anyone who's played
Thrust or Fly Harder
will have some idea
how difficult this is,
and a steady hand
and nerves of steel
are essential.

Scavenge

On-line PD

When I loaded this up
I thought it looked

quite promising. It's a two-player game
that is a sort of cross between the Alien
Breed series and Doom, but don't get too
excited because it doesn't come close to
matching either.

The idea behind the game is very
simple; both players must race around an
Alien Breed maze with the sole intention
of killing each other. This all sounds well
and good, but when you consider that
your opponent can see you at all times
and therefore easily avoid any attacks you
may make, you begin to see the problems
that the game faces.

Sadly it all becomes very annoying
after a very short period of time, and to
be honest I was reaching for the power
switch after about 10 minutes.

Pengo

17 Bit

I get the feeling this could be an old
Spectrum game brought up-to-date, but I
can't be sure. Obvious comparisons can be

drawn with Pacman as
you attempt to control
a penguin's movement
around a maze. The
idea is to crush a
number of scary-
looking ghosts by
pushing blocks of ice
on to them. Kill them
all and you'll be
allowed to move on to
the next level, nothing
more, nothing less.
This is excellent value
for money, and although there's not a
great deal happening, it looks quite nice
and will keep you occupied for much
longer than most. Pengo is one of those
annoyingty addictive PD games that you'll
find yourself playing whenever you've a
spare five minutes.

The sequel to Manic

the Spectrum's most

skill-fest. this has
more quirks, rooms

many of today's
releases.

So what's this all about then?
Well, almost everybody in the
entire universe will remember, or
at least know something about,
playing happily on that ground-
breaking machine of the early eighties,
the Sinclair Spectrum.

There's a massive market for nostalgia
at the moment, and the world is full of
people who hanker after the gloriously
happy days of old. Whether your interest
lies in music, sport or home computers,
there'll be someone out there who is
selling a product which will have you
squealing in wild delight as your
childhood memories are rekindled.

If you experienced your first brush
with home computers before the C5
brought Sinclair's credibility crashing to
the ground, rejoice, for we have some
good news. Paul Walker from Warrington
has gathered together a number of classic
games from the Spectrum era and he
wants to preach the Gospel according to
Saint Give to the world,

Paul has painstakingly converted these
games into an extensive compilation tor
the Amiga, and now, one year atter the
initial idea sparked him into action, there
are more than 1000 games spread over 20
disks. And he's not finished yet; as long as
he can continue collecting and converting
the games, Paul will do his damnedest to
bring them to the public.

Step into your cerebral time machine
and cast your mind back to old classics
such as -Manic Miner. Jet Set Wtlly, Full
Throttle and Ikari Warriors.

As for the future, Paul plans to
produce a Spectrum fanzine which he
hopes will include a coverdisk. A

Empire aren't a company to shy away from the flight simulation market,
as they proved with their last effort. Dawn Patrol. This time however
there's none of the usual serious stuff we've come to expect; Coala is an
out-and-out blaster.

IMI14 MAZ

TF9 AN55P ORT

:A5T

Billed as a fully configurable 3D battlefield helicopter simulation, Coala
sees you thrust right in the thick of things with no instructions or
commanding officers there to tell you what to do. Empire describe you
as a maverick pilot who must choose which side to fight for.

One of Coala's best features is an artificial intelligence system which
allows you to steer well clear of any trouble that occurs. Because you
have no allegiance to any side in the conflict, you can, if you like, sit
back and watch the inevitable carnage unfold before your very eyes.

AMBULANCE
MOM COMBAT

Four separate powers will be battling it out for overall supremacy and
you can choose to attack or ignore any or all of them. The combatants go
under the names: East, West, UN and Civil Forces, and the action take
place over a number of different scenarios including: Peace, Cold War,
UN Controlled Ceasefire, Tank Battle, Ground Battle and so on. Plenty for
everybody I'm sure you'll agree.

Under normal circumstances the headline
above would have seen the sub-editor
receiving a bit of a slap for letting such bad
spelling find its way into the magazine.
However, this Coala hasn't got four legs, it
certainly isn't cute and there isn't a
Eucalyptus leaf in sight. Empire's latest
foray into the Amiga market was unveiled at
the recent ECTS show and is something that
Empire are pretty excited about it. We sent
PAUL McNALLY along to give this A1200
product the once over.

All levels of A WOO are catered for, and the fact that up to 10
levels of object detail tan be affected by the player means that
" i packing en accelerator card can utilise their
\imcnt to the full. Shadows and shading can also
dealt with, so there realty ts no excuse for not have it running
at an optimum \

AMIGA ACTION PREVIEW

A release date for Coala is
imminent although
nothing is confirmed at
present. The final tweaks
will have been made by
the time you read this, and
with all the luck in the
world there'll be a review
in next month's issue
where it will be going
head to head with Arcane's
new helicopter game.

Empire are keen to state that the game has been designed by a
number of ex-NATO personnel Even the password system is based
on an exact copy of the UN defence system, although it has been
changed a little for obvious reasons. Hmm. I'm not convinced MI5
will be too impressed with Empire for giving national secrets away
Ever wondered who those suspicious men in the black car that's
been following you for the last couple of days are'

Most of the features of modern flight games will be
incorporated into Coala, including a Virtual Cockpit. This is
pretty extravagant for the Amiga and allows you to scan
the surrounding skies without having to worry too much
about controlling the aircraft.

The mouse will form
the main control
method, enabling you
to zoom into and
around all the objects
you come across while
flying missions.
Anybody who played
Thunderhawk in the
old days will be
familiar with the
mouse control
concept, even though
it may seem strange
at first!

One of the most popular aspects of Doom is the
array of weaponry that can be picked up and used
against whatever approaches. Fears also tries to
provide a healthy selection, and there are five
different pieces of artillery, including a
flamethrower, which are guaranteed to cause quite
bit of destruction.

Other features worth mentioning are the stunning

sound and the null modem cable link option (for that

multi-player experience). There are no details of a

release date as yet but you can contact Manyk by

ringing 0181 5422687 for the latest gossip!

Alternatively watch out for the next Amiga Action.

Over the last year there have been a
ridiculous number of Doom clones
appearing on the PC as endless
bandwagon-jumpers have tried to
better the original. Of course the
Amiga hasn't got the original, but that
hasn't stopped these clones from
popping up here, there and
everywhere on our machine. Apart
from Team 17s Breed 3D (featured
elsewhere in this issue), we've kept
clear of the majority because they
don't appear to be up to much, but
PAUL McNALLY seems to have
discovered a serious contender.

The game boasts an impressive array of
statistics to bolster its campaign for Amiga
success. 30 levels are included to give you all
something to get your teeth into, and there are
12 different types of monster as well as the
big, nasty end-of-level bosses to contend with.

Fears has been produced by a company called

Manyk. If s great to see new talent working on
the Amiga and it probably won't be long
before these London lads get signed up by
a big publisher if the strength of this title
is anything to go by. They're definitely
ones to watch out for!

Full screen 360-degree

rotational scrolling makes

Blood, Sweat & Fears look as

Doom-like as possible, and it

isn't slow either. Also, if you're

lucky enough to have access to

the obscene amounts of cash

that allow you to have a sexy

accelerator card bolted on to

your Amiga, things are even

faster. Impressive or what?

With the Amiga in its current state, big events such

as the release of Alien Breed 3D are going to be

arriving noticeably less often. So. when situations

such as this do occur, they should be savoured to the

full. Doom is possibly the most hyped-up and talked

about single game since Elite, and the fact that Team

17 are working on a more than acceptable clone of

this for the Amiga should be enough to spark off a

great deal of enthusiasm in what is otherwise a

totally apathetic market.

You have to appreciate what Team 17 have done here. I always thought that a game
like this was just a pipe dream hankered after by people who could not accept the
limitations of the Amiga and be happy with what they had, but I'm now in the
process of being proved wrong by probably the only software house capable of
pushing the machine to its limits and beyond. The opposition should take note.

Alien Breed 3D - a kind of Custer's Last
Stand for the Amiga? Who knows? Certainly
not us, we're just looking forward to Team
17 providing salvation for thousands of
Doom starved Amiga owners who have so far
had to put up with a number of poor PD
attempts lurching around on a screen the
size of a very small postage stamp. With
their usual flourish the lads from Wakefield
are about to unleash their latest
masterpiece on a frenzied audience, and a
small STEVE McNALLY is jumping up and
down excitedly at the front.

Atmosphere has always been a key component
in the Alien Breed series and A830 should be no
exception. The baste nature of the game is
enough to get your nerves jangling anyway,
but when you add exceptional sound effects
and a thumping musical score, it becomes
apparent that this is going to be one of the
most intense gaming experiences you're ever
likely to have on your Amiga.

You may think that the
main enemy sprites are
just a little bit pixelly.
Okay, you'd be stupid to
argue otherwise, but
you have to remember
that this is a still
screenshot and not
representative of the
moving game. Anyone
who's seen the game up
and running cannot fail
to be amazed at its
speed, even on a
standard machine. In
fact, if you haven't done
so already, check out
the rolling demo on our
March issue and prepare
to be impressed.

Take a cursory glance at
any PC magazine and you
can guarantee that
almost every second
word will be 'Doom'.
News of the latest
version of Doom on the
bulletin boards, details
of yet another Doom-
inspired effort, features
on the hundreds of Doom clones that have appeared over the last couple of years,
comparisons of every game released with the mighty Doom. All this and more is stuffed
down the throats of innocent PC users every time they open a magazine, and very soon us
Amiga owners won't feel left out anymore. Alien Breed 3D is basically Doom on our
machine. It really is that good.

AMIGA ACTION PREVIEW

The Alien Breed series has always cried out for something like this, but up
until now no-one ever dared to think that it might be possible. The earlier
games were all well and good, as their sales figures proved, but there was
a little something lacking. Hopefully Breed 3D will provide this missing
element and prove to be a fitting conclusion to the series.

Game of the year? It looks more than likely at

this stage because from what we've seen, the

other publishers don't look to have anything

lined up that can even come close to

challenging it. You never know, it may not turn

out half as good as Team 17 are hoping, but

with a record as impressive as theirs, would

you doubt them' I certainly wouldn't and can

say quite confidently that AB3D will be an

essential purchase.

When Alien Breed 3D is released in a few weeks it will
undoubtedly soar to the top of the sales charts, proving to
be yet another runaway success for Team 17. However, just
how long it will remain viable for companies to continue
producing quality software for the Amiga, no matter how loyal they
have been in the past, is becoming more and more of a problem. Hopefully
Breed 30 will provide the breath of fresh air which is needed to remind software publishers
just what the Amiga is capable of.

The plot to Alien Breed 3D is largely

irrelevant Whereas in some games

it is necessary to go into detail

about characters and storylines to

provide an overall atmosphere, all

you need to know to get full

enjoyment out of a product such as

this, or indeed any Doom clone, is

shoot anything and everything that

gets in your way. It's an extremely

simple concept, and although it

doesn't really appeal to me that

much, you can't fail to see the logic

behind it. For some reason, people

love this kind of thing!

When we heard that Graftgold
were producing a game which
would involve brutally killing off
a number of dirty green viruses,
we asked them if we could use it
to get rid of ANDY SHARP. We
were a little disappointed when
they told us they meant
computer viruses, but we were
buggered if that was going to
stop us from harshing Andy up in
this intro. Anyway, straw
clutchers that we are, we forced
him to take a look at this new
game in the vain hope that he
would still disappear.
Unfortunately he's still here.

Graphically, Virocop is clear and detailed and
there are no glitches - it's a real treat. It also
seems to play quite well and offers the
gamesplayer a fair challenge. Your floating
robot is capable of plenty of quick manoeuvres
but he still needs careful control to avoid the
obstacles on screen.

Between the stages you wilt

be transported to a circuit

board where you can buy

missiles and additional

armour. There are credits to

be picked up on each level,

and if you spend a little time

going after them it is

possible to buy some rather

tasty new weapons.

Virocop looks as though it could be a big hit. It
certainly has all the elements of a winner at
this stage, but for a more detailed analysis look
out for a full in-depth review in the near
future. Graftgold have spent quite some time
coming up with a quality product, and what we
have seen so far shows just how much work
has been put into the project.

56 AMIGA ACTION PREVIEW

There is a two-player team
option where you will
either be cheering in
delight or ripping your
friend's limbs from their
torso. This is basically
because one person
controls the lower part of
the robot while the other
player rotates the head and
fires the weapons. Quite an
interesting idea.

Each level consists of four

stages to complete and you

will be given a password

once the end-of-level

guardian has been killed. A

bonus for A1200 owners is

an extra stage, the

Adventure World. A limited

number of weapons can be

collected, but you don't

need to worry too much

about conserving them

because your bog standard

missiles are unlimited and

pretty effective.

■ ••••

You take control of DAVE
(Digital Armoured Virus
Exterminator), and must
guide him around several
computer worlds. He may
have more than a fleeting
resemblance to a vacuum
cleaner but he tends to
leave a mess rather than
clean things up. Beginning
in Sports World, your task is
to kill seven deadly viruses
that are threatening your
general enjoyment and
gameplay. With a 3D type
world to explore you'll have
to search high and low for
the nasty enemies.

There's not too much you can write about chess, especially when you
haven't got the game in front of you so you can harp on about how
good the chess playing engine actually is! Well anyway, we'll tell you

everything we know about Chess Through
the Ages then we'll all be in the same boat.
The game will be CD32 and AGA only.
You may be wondering why a standard
Amiga can't handle this particular chess
game, but when you look at the screenshots
you'll perhaps realise that it would be
impossible. Because of the rendered graphics
which have been used to recreate a number
of differently styled chess sets from history
and the future, there is no way that the A500
and 600 could possibly cope.

Chess Through the Ages will be
distributed by Kompart in the UK but it is
being programmed over in Poland by a team
called Union Interactive who are pretty new
to the Amiga scene in this country.

The price and release date are yet to be
confirmed, but watch this space and we'll
bring you more information as soon as we
i get our hands on it

All pieces are
fully animated
and act in
great battle
sequences

If you've ever had
aspirations to become a
member of the computer
police then your dreams
could come true in
Virocop. Your task is
simple; explore the various
game worlds and destroy all
the viruses throughout each
stage. Can it really be this simple?

Well actually, no it can't.

Imagine a battle with this knight

PREVIEW AMIGA ACTION 157

Black Legend's most famous
software developers are
without a doubt Croteam.
These lads who are situated

■ — — — _ A

continuing to bash out the
products despite all that is
going on in their country.
We met up with a couple of
them a few months f
when Football Glory
nearing completion and
they seem determined to
make an impression on the
Amiga market. They're
hoping that Evil's Doom will
be the next step on t
road to lasting sue"

»:-:«•■

At the moment no release date has
been set for Evil's Doom, but the price
has been fixed at £29.99, putting it
right up there with a'.i other games of
this nature. Anyway, we thought
you'd like to see these screenshots
before anybody else in the world, and
if you keep your eyes peeled we
should have some more information in
next month's news pages.

Black Legend are on the rampage again with another
batch of Amiga products from around the world.
Evil's Doom is the forthcoming offering from the
Croatian team of developers responsible for
Football Glory, and PAUL McNALLY is keen to
find out just what it's all about

Croteam's already
impressive track-
record consists of
the excellent
Football Glory,
which came so
close to improving
on Sensible Soccer,
and the zippy
flight simulation
Embryo, which
turned out to be
one of the hardest
games we have
ever played.

Richard Holmes of Black

Legend told us that

equipment is very hard

to get hold of in Croatia,

and it is impossible for

the programmers there

to buy the hardware

they would really like. To

combat this they have to

learn how to get the

very best from what

they have, and as a

result the programming

is always as close as

possible to perfection.

As you can see from the screenshots, Evil's
Doom is based on a dungeon type
scenario, and there is nothing like a dark
grey, deep, dank Dungeon Master style
game to get adventurers' hearts pumping.
Work still needs to be done on some of the
monsters as the graphics haven't quite
been completed yet, so if these
screenshots are anything to go by. we
should be in for a treat.

I i / i.i v i After last month's guide to
Level One of Valhalla: Before the
War, we thought it would make
sense to follow it up with the
complete solution to Level Two, The
Dungeons. So here it is, in all its
torture-filled glory

LEVEL TWO

ick up the tankard, look under the
dodgy tile and take the key. Walk
down and pick up another tankard.
Continue down, then go right. Go up and
you should find four soldiers who want a
drink. Pick up the tankard from the table
and look under the dodgy tile to obtain a
stamina bottle. Go down from this room
then flick the lever situated at the bottom
of the corridor.

Go through the open door ( pick up a
fourth tankard, look under the dodgy tile
and take the key. Then flick the lever at
the bottom of the room. Now fill all four
tankards with ale and place them on the
tables in front of the soldiers. They will
now ask for some food. Take the tankards
and leave them near the barrel of ale (you
will have to use them again later). A door

below and to the right of the soldiers'
room will now be open, and this is where
you should head next.

Pick up the stick and the two chicken
legs, then return to near where you
started the level. Cross the dangerous
looking stuff at the top left of the room
below the corridor where you began, and
open the door with the skull key. Walk
through it and pick up the bone. Now
leave this corridor, return to the large
chamber next to it and cross the
dangerous looking stuff near the bottom
and to the left of the room. Put the stick in
the empty socket in the room with the
soldier who asks for the password, and
pull the lever.

Walk through the door to the left, go
up and look under the dodgy tile. Take the

under the three dodgy tiles and take a
chicken leg and two more sapphires. Now
use the teleporting device (the square
with the funny symbol on it). This will take
you to another part of the maze. Go up
and right until you come to a dodgy tile.
Look under it and take the chicken leg. To
the right there is another dodgy tile hiding
another chicken leg, but you do not need
to pick this up to complete the level. Go up
into the chamber where there are two
tombs - Angry Hours and Femur Link. Put
the bone on the Tomb of Femur Link - it
should disappear.

Now return to the four soldiers and put
the four chicken legs you have on the
tables in front of them. They will present
you with a key (which you should take),
and ask for another drink.

Open the chest in the barrel of ale
room with one of the chest keys and take
the paper with CRUMBUWALLY written on
it. Go back to the room of the two
warriors' tombs and use the other key to
open the chest there. Pick up the
Translation drink and go and stand in
front of the soldier who asks for a
password. Drink the Translation Potion
and take a look at the piece of paper with
CRUMBUWALLY written on it - it should
now say HERMANS HOME. Take the cross
and the Protection Potion from the two
chests which open.

Put the cross on the Tomb of Angry

should pass through it.
Use the teleporter to the left
and you will come to a room
containing an altar with a
sapphire shape on it Put one of
the sapphires on here and take the chain
when the altar has disappeared. Use the
other two sapphires in your inventory to
dispose of the next two altars. Now pick
up the will.

back to the Tomb of Femur Link
and put the chain on here. Take the chess
piece. Now use the right hand teleport in
the room above the four soldiers. Pick up
NO from the altar and go down and left
fcnto the torture chamber. Pick up the
hoes and the watch from here. Below the

1 chamber there is a corridor which
leads to an altar with COMBINATION
written on «t. Pick up WHAT'S THE
COMBINATION and the cookie.

'K'liMK. f:||Mii|if:|
Return to the Tomb of Angry Hours and
place the watch on it. You will be given
another chess piece. Below the torture
chamber there b a room that looks like a
chess board. Go here, put the first piece
you r eceived on the white square at the
top left of the room and the second piece
on the blade square four spaces from the
bottom left hand comer of the room. The
king is now in checkmate and will

disappear. Take the cigar and the sapphire.
Return to the room with the sapphire
altars and use this latest gem. You should
now pick up LET HIM HAVE IT.

Go to the torture chamber and stand
next to the prisoner on the right. Ask
WHATS THE COMBINATION and he will
say that he doesn't know. Now tell the
soldier on the right to LET HIM HAVE IT.
The poor, skinny soul will be stretched on
the rack and the soldier will inform you
that you killed him and that he is going to
tell. Pick up the key that the unlucky
prisoner has coughed up.

Now go to the chess board room and
use the teleporter. To the right of the
room there is a piece of paper - it is the
Valhalla Chronicle. Pick it up. Also pick up
the bee tray from the top of the room.
Now go to the sapphire altar room and.
making sure you have sufficient stamina,
begin to walk through the dangerous

door. This can be opened with the key you
got from the tortured prisoner. In the
room below there is a tuning fork and a
camera. Continue down and you should
find a dodgy tile next to a piece of paper
with JOKE written on it. Look under the
tile and take the stamina bottle and the
piece of paper.

Did you kill him?

In the corridor below the tuning fork there
is a teleporter - use this. Flick the lever
and a door will open into the room where
you found the bee tray. Go back to the
torture chamber and you will find the
king. He will be standing over the dead
prisoner and will ask DID YOU KILL HIM?
Say NO I DIDN'T and the king will ask you
to prove your innocence. Take the stick
from the dead prisoner and return to the
room where you saw the tuning fork.

Use the stick on the empty wall socket
at the bottom of this room and flick the
■r to open the door. Walk through it
pick up the piece of paper with only a

date and heading on it. Put this in
the photocopier followed by the i
page from the Valhalla Daily
Chronicle which you picked up -J

document the photocopier has
produced - this is your alibi. Place
this new piece of paper in front of
the king in the torture chamber
and he will disappear. Now take
his crown and return to the
photocopier once more.

Below here there is a crown ^

Go up the new corridor, take the key and
flick the lever to open the door to the

left and up until you reach a door. Use the
key you have just found to open this door.
Go through the door and up until you
come to a dodgy tile next to a barrel of

To the left of here you will find the Tomb
of Hamlet Sharp. Put the cigar on here and
it will disappear.

Return to the door you last opened
(next to Herman) and go left. Flick the
switch at the end of the corridor and this
will let you into the room where you saw
the tuning fork earlier. Put the note on the

fork and take the sharp you are given. Put
this on the Tomb of Hamlet Sharp and
take the stick. This can be used with the
empty wall socket to open the door in the
corridor to the left of Herman.

Go through the door and pick up the
paper with CRUMBLIWALLY written on it.
Use the teleporter and you will find
yourself trapped on all sides. To get out of
this predicament say CRUMBLIWALLY and
you will be free. To the left of this room
there is a fruit machine. Put the orange
you picked up earlier on one of the reels.
To the right of this room there is a lever.
Flick this and a door will open to the room
where you found the photocopier. Go
back into the room with the fruit machine
and go through the door at the bottom. In
this room you will find the Cosmos.

Use the teleporter at the bottom of
this room and you will be taken to a
chamber which contains the Genesis
machine. Take the amplifier which is also
there and return to the room with the
fruit machine. Go through the door at the
top of the room and pick up the Comedian
Potion. Go left from here into a room
where there is a Tomb of Coloured Fish.
Ignore this as it is a red herring. Pick up
the camera film from next to the tomb.

Return to the room with the cam
and put the film in it. Press the button at
the front of the camera and take the
picture of yourself that appears. While
are here, go into the room where you

le from the soldier, take the
rmometer and the paper from the
chests (the piece of paper tells you how to
negotiate the maze of teleport devices in
the room above the fruit machine -NEW
SWSWN).

Go to the room of the teleport maze
md put the picture of yourself on the
amily album. Take the picture of the king.
Negotiate the teleport maze using the
directions on the paper and flick the lever
to open the door at the bottom of the
room. Take the rings and go to the room
with the sapphire altars. Use the sapphire
you have to yet rid of one more altar.

Go to Herman, stand next to him and
say LET HIM HAVE IT. He will reply LET
WHO HAVE IT? Look at the picture of the
king and Merman wHI give you a chest key
and ask for his prophecy. Take the key and
put the cookie on the drain next to the

barrel of ale you poisoned at the
beginning of the level. Press the tap on
the barrel and the cookie will be poisoned.
Pick it up and return to the room where
you found the rings (the one with the
cookie monster).

Put the poisoned cookie in the dish at
the top left and the monster will eat it and
die. You can now go through the door at
the top of the room. Use the teleport at
the top of the room and go up the new
corridor to take the pear. Use the teleport
again and take the sapphire. Use the
teleport once more and you will be able to
use the sapphire to get rid of the final
sapphire altar. At the top of this room
there is a banana and some soil. Take

in both and put the banana and the

r on the remaining two reels of the
it machine.

Return to the room where you found
the banana and the soil and enter the
corridor to the left. Flick the lever on the
all and walk through the door. Take the

»w from the table and flick the lever at

left of the room.

Go and put the arrow on the Tomb of
*>in Sole and take the Luck Potion that
you are given. Return to the fruit machine,
drink the Luck Potion and flick the lever.
Now go to the chamber where you found
the soil and the banana and use the
teleporter at the bottom of the corridor on
the left hand side. This should take you
into a room with a liquidiser. Use the
other teleporter in this room and you will
find yourself in a corridor trapped
between two doors. FOck both wall levers
to open these.

Go to the barrel of ate near the

ible

Go to the barrel of ale near the Tomb of
Hamlet Sharp and use the chest key you
have to open the chest between the two
tankards. Take the book about Icarus. Take
the three apples from the fruit machine
reefs and put them in the liquidiser you
found earlier (in the room with the two
teleporters). Tate the bottle of cider and
put it in front of Grumbleweed - he will
belch loudly. Go to the barrel of ale near
the Tomb of Hamlet Sharp and fill one of
the tankards nearby with ale.

Go back to Grumbleweed and put the
amplifier on the floor next to him. Stand
on the amp, facing Grumbleweed, and
drink the ale you have just poured for

yourself. Your burp will be much louder
than his and he will give you a fly trap as
your reward. Take this and make your way
to the Genesis machine you discovered
earlier (go via the teleport at the bottom
of the Cosmos room). Put the following
items in the Genesis machine and you will
be given the relevant planets in return:

Thermometer - Mercury
Fly Trap - Venus
Rings - Saturn
Soil - Earth.

Go to the Cosmos and place the
planets on the altars from left to right in
the following order: Saturn, Venus, Earth,
Mercury. Now put the Icarus book on the
sun that appears at the end and you will
be given a book containing Herman's
Prophecy. Put the book in front of Herman
and he will give you a key. Take this and
use it to open the door above the fruit
machine. Go through it and pick up the
loot you won earlier.

Put this money on the desk in
front of the soldier who says IT'LL COST

YOU. The door
behind him will
now open and all
you have to do is
go through it to
the next
J teleporter and
1 you're ready to
tackle the next
level - The

I mil roniiir,!' | There are some games
out there that have caused our
readers grief since the day of their
release. The Indy games are prime
examples, and if our postbag is
anything to go by, you'll be more
than grateful for this solution

In the beginning

Not too much to do here really. In the
first room click on the strange statue
and you'll be dumped into the next
location. Your task here is to find your
way out. Click on the rope situated on the
right of the screen.

The next room should be the library
where all you have to do is click on the
books about statues. After reaching the
next room you have to click on the cat
figurines on the table. This will take you
into the boiler room where the object you
seek is situated. Click on the lockers to
look inside and one will contain a statue.
Click on this and you will pick it up.

New York

Be sure to pick up the newspaper before
you head to the back of the theatre.
Try to go inside the theatre and you'll be

pushed back by the doorman. The best
way to get past this guy is to use your
conversational skills. Use this combination
for a dialogue path and you'll breeze past
without any problems: 1/2/1/3/3.

The next step is to attract Sophia's
attention. Speak to the stage hand by
using the dialogue path 3/1/1, then hand
him the newspaper from outside. When he
leaves, push the left and right levers and
then push the button.

Iceland

This stage involves visiting this place
twice. On your first visit you will
merely be pointed in the right direction, so
long as you use the dialogue path 3/3/1 to
talk to the bloke. The next time you pay a
visit you must concentrate on getting the
exposed eel head. This can be done by
using the orichakum bead. You will have
been to the Azores for a little while first.

Tikal

As everybody who has seen the Indiana
Jones films will know, Indy hates
snakes, but unfortunately he has to find a
way past. Make sure one of the rodents
gets within the range of the snakes, then
whip the rodent when it's standing in
front of the path furthest to the back, near
the centre of the screen.

Once the snake is out of the way you
will have to get across the chasm by using
the tree. You will now reach the temple,
but Sternhart won't let you in until you
answer his question on the title.

You must admit to him you don't know
anything about the title. Talk to the parrot
and say. "title?" Now ask Sternhart if you
can explore the temple.

Once inside the temple you will see
that one of the spiral designs is different
from the others. Make sure Sophia keeps
Sternhart occupied, head for the exit and
go to the souvenir stand.

Pick up the lamp and head back to the
spiral design. Then open the lamp and use
it with the spiral design. Next use the spiral
design with the animal head and pull the
nose. Sternhart will then steal something
and leave. You don't have to worry too
much about following him though as he's
not too important.

Azores

Knock on the door as Sophia
because Indy will have no
success here. The bloke will
want to make a trade with you
but you won't be carrying
anything suitable. This is the
point when you go back to
Iceland to take the eel figurine.

Barnett College

There are three paths you can take at
this stage. The path we'll be concerned
with at the moment is the Wits Path which
means you need to locate the Lost
Dialogue of Plato. This can be in one of
three places: the room with the totem
pole, the room at the top of the coal chute
or the library.

If you need to reach the top floor
again you must get the mayonnaise from
the ice box inside Indy's office. Use this
with the totem pole and pull the pole to
the trapdoor. The room above holds the
dusty key for the dusty chest. To obtain the
key you will have to open the urn and pick
up the ashes.

If you need to climb the coal chute, use
the gum from the school desk in the
library. If the dialogue is in the room with
the totem pole, push the large crate to one
side and then use the dusty key with the
dusty chest - it may be in the room with
the cat figurines.

Climb the coal chute, find the figurine,
open the furnace in the cellar and use the
wax cat with the furnace.

Finally, use the dirty rag from the cellar
with the arrowhead from the totem pole
room. This will act as a rather crude
screwdriver with which you can undo each
of the screws in the fallen bookcase. (This
crude screwdriver is the type that doesn't
look particularly good and is a bit tricky to
use rather than one that tells lots of rude
jokes to your girlfriend's parents.)
Alternatively you could knock the book
down with a piece of coal from below

n arrival, talk to as
many strangers as
possible to discover who Alain
Trottier is. When you've found him he
will ask you a question. The answer to this
can be found in the Lost Dialogue. He will
then pass you his business card. Hop in a
taxi and head for Algiers.

Algiers

As soon as you arrive, walk as far left as
you can into the back alley. Talk to the
storekeeper and he will let you know he's
not Al-Jabbar. Hand over Alain Trottier**
business card and he will tell you to wait
until he returns. Ignore this and follow
him into the streets to find Al-Jabbar's
house. If you fail to follow him
successfully you will say, "Where did he
go?" Don't worry, return to the market
and try again until you see him duck into a
house. This will be Al-Jabbar's abode.

Enter the house and wait until the
servant leaves to fetch the police. Step into
the closet as Al-Jabbar follows you, and
quickly step out again, closing the door
and locking him in. You can now explore
the house to your heart's content.

Pick up the pole and head over to the
hanging cloth. Use the pole on the cloth
and it will turn out to be a map. Now use
the camel and head for the desert.

Desert

Head for the nomad camps to find out
where the dig site is. Go to the dig site
and head towards the truck. Open the

truck door, pick up the telegram and go
left towards a ladder to reach the
underground site. You'll have to search
around in the dark to find a long tube and
a clay thing.

Now go to the truck, open the gas tank
and use the tube and the clay jar to empty
the tank. After closing the tank, take the
jar and find a small metal thing at the
ladder. Use the jar with the gas filler pipe.
Look for another metal object and push it
- this is the generator starter switch.

Next pick up the ship rib and head left
to the painting on the wall. In between
the hands of the painting is a round
object. Push this and a secret panel will
open with a statue inside. Pick up the
statue and head back to the generator.
Open the panel on the side of the
generator and switch it off.

Pick up the spark plug and head back
to the van. Use the plug with the truck

after opening the hood. Use an orichalcum
bead on the statue you found at the dig
site and then use the statue on the spark
plug. This will start the engine. Close the
hood and use the truck.

Head back to Trottier and talk to him
until he tells you about the key to the
fabled city. A couple of Germans will now
kidnap Trottier so you will have to give
chase in the truck and crash into the Nazis.
Talk to Trottier again and he'll write the
address where he threw the Sunstone on
the telegram. Return to the street.

Go to the street corners using the map
and find the exact address you require.
Search the drain and you'll find the
Sunstone. Return to the hotel and jump in
a taxi. Head out towards Thera and pick up
the fishing net. Walk along the path away
from the docks and search the mountains.
There should be three paths leading into
the mountains; two will go nowhere but
one will lead to an entrance to an outpost.

Balloon

Here you should close the crate. The lid
will have an invoice on it so take this
and enter the doorway. There is an
entrenching tool on the boxes, so pick this
up and open it to find a note from Sophia.

Close the door to reveal a secret panel
at the side. Place the Sunstone on the
spindle and enter the correct symbol
described in the Lost Dialogue. Open the
door and take the carved sign, close the
door and take the Sunstone.

Use the entrenching tool on the
blocked door at the entrance, head back to

the docks and hand the invoice to the port
authority. You may now collect the
balloon. Speak to the man again and offer
him the carved sign for the large basket.
He'll read the sign for you then disappear.
Now pick up the basket.

You are now ready to make a balloon.
Use the fishing net with the basket and
then the balloon with the basket. Now you
need to inflate the balloon. Head to the
outpost again and use the hose on the
balloon, then the balloon on the vent. The
balloon will inflate and you can now use it
to travel.

Submarine

Locate the submarine and land nearby.
Climb up the ladder, open the hatch,
step inside and head to the lower deck.
Talk to the guard, head aft and pick up the
bread and cold cuts. Use the bread on the
cold cuts and then return to the hungry
soldier. Offer him the sandwich and he'll
disappear aft

Open the locker and take the
Moonstone and torpedo instructions. Go
down the ladder and then right to pick up
the oily rag. Go to the torpedo room and
use the oily rag with the wires. Use the
torpedo instructions on the control panels
and then push the lever.

Once you are under the trap door,
climb up and go right to the head. Open
the door and enter the head. Close the
door and use the Indywear. Leave the head
and go right. Use the torpedo instructions
on the control panel, attach the clothesline
to the lever and open the torpedo tube
and enter it. Pull the clothesline to exit the
sub and arrive at the island.

Island

Head right to the stone pedestal and
use the stone disk. Follow the
instructions in the Lost Dialogue. Once the

door has opened, step inside and pick up
two of the statue heads. Enter the door
and use your whip to pull the statue
towards you. Then close the gate.

Go through the centre door, then
through the one on the left. Next go
through the door immediately to your left.
Use your whip on the statue head and it
will roll down the steps. Follow this and
you will step on an elevator which will take
you down. Pick up the pole, woolly scarf
and Worldstone. Examine the waterfall
and you'll notice a hidden chain. Use the
chain to climb up the waterfall.

Now go through the door on the left
and use the three statue heads on the
shelf. When the door is open, enter and go

through the centre and
right doors. Use the staff
on the clock, return
through the two
doorways and go right
Use the staff on the
mouth of the head and
pick up the gold box.
Head through the door
behind you, use a bead
on the statue and use
the statue on the
Microtaur. This will dig
through the wall. Step
through the hole and
you'll find yourself in
the map room.
Use the stone disks on the spindle to
open a door. Go through and head to the
right through the two doors. Pick up the
beads and go through the door.

Next use the comb with the clothesline,
then the comb with the scarf to charge it
with electricity. Use the comb to reveal a
door. Enter here, pick up the bead and use
it on the mouth of the subway train. Put
the mouse down, give three cheers and go
and make yourself a brew, for you will
now enter Atlantis.

Atlantis

Head down the stairs and pick up the
wooden object. Go right, use the
ladder on the pile of rubble, climb it and
be sure to pick up the ladder. Now open
the stone thing and there will be a metal
rod inside. Use a bead with the rod to
produce a light, and use the disks with the
spindle. When the mouth of the sentry
opens you should put a bead in it to open
the big door to Atlantis.

Once inside Atlantis there will be a
view from above. This produces a circle
which represents Atlantis. There will be
question marks around the area, indicating
rooms you can enter There are 22 rooms in
all, six of which have names

Inside some rooms there are grates to
allow you access to other rooms, and in
two of them the grates will lead to a grate
in the wall. In turn, one of these grates
leads you to a place with a statue. Use a
bead on the statue to kill the guard and
explore the rooms until you find these
seven items:

1. A bronze gear

2. A statue head

3. A cup

4. A rib cage

5. A bronze spoked wheel

6. A statue part

7. An eel sculpture

Now go to the lava room
and use the cup on the
pedestal. Then use the lava-
filled cup on the funnel. Go
down to the dish to collect
the beads - you will need
approximately seven of these to
complete the game. Head to the
crab room and use the sandwich with
the rib cage. This baited hook can now be
used in the pool to catch a crab. Head
towards the sentry room and use a bead

with the eel sculpture. Now use a bead
with the fish statue to open a door. Step
through to enter the dungeon.

Pick up the statue part and return to
the canal. Use the rib cage with the
octopus, then enter the water. Now use a
bead on the mouth of the raft and head
towards the doors. Enter the left room and
use the Moonstone on the next spindle.
Head through the door and pick up the
crescent shaped gear. Close the cupboard
and examine the diagram.

Head back to the raft, use the
Worldstone on the last spindle and use the
archway. Use the chain on the bronze loop
on the door and use the ladder on the
sentry statue. Now open the chest plate.

You now need to follow the
instructions on the diagram. Use the chain
on the statue arm, go back to the chest
plate and change the position of the small
wheel. Pick up the hinge pin and go back
to the dungeon. Give the hinge pin to
Sophia and pick up the cage. Tell Sophia
that you have a plan and she should use
the hinge pin to keep the cage open.

When she is free, pick up the cage and
the hinge pin. Return to the statue room

and go through the doors. Answer Sophia
then follow her into the room. Talk to
Sophia and then look at Sophia. Use a
bead with her necklace and she'll take it
off. Use this with the gold box. Head up
the stairs to the left
pick up the sceptre and
leave the room.

Next walk into the
hall at the top of the
screen and note that
the wall contains some
strange markings,
these are the controls
to the big machine in
the opposite room.
Enter the room
opposite and use the
sceptre on the left slot
in the machine. The
hinge pin should go in
the right slot. Use the

diagram from the last room on the two
levers and look on the floor where you will
see more strange markings. These are
instructions on how to stop the machine.
Try to remember these and then put a
bead in the mouth to start the machine.

Once you can control the machine, use
the diagram from the floor to stop it.
When you have escaped from here, walk
to the path to the right and below you. Go
through the door.

You will now have to enter certain
doors to reach the lava crossing. Follow
this sequence: right, up the stairs, right,
middle, middle, right and then left. The
diagram on the wall is the combination to
start the machine.

Go up the slope then through the left
door. You have now reached the lava
crossing. Walk all the way to the right and
back to the centre of the city to reach the
Machine Of The Gods.

Use the combination which was on the
wall, on the spindle. Kerner will enter the
room. Talk to him until he enters the
machine and is killed. You now have to
speak to the professor using this
combination of answers: 1/2/3/1/1/2/4/2/2/1.
The prof will now enter the machine and
disappear. Hurrah! The End!

This isn't so much a small tip as a filthy cheat from Damon
Clarke of Leicester If for example you are Manchester
United and you get a job offer from Blackburn Rovers and
decide to take the job. first go to the transfers and
exchange the players worth millions on the United team
for rubbish players only worth thousands at Blackburn -
eg swap Pallister (f 3M) for Gale (£550k)
Do this with any players you want then accept the job

Can you help me SOB?

I've loads of tips for you

AMIGA ACTION

/J / 1 elcome once again lo yet more
11/ warblings from the hairy and
1/1/ extremely attractive adventure
helpline guru that I undoubtedly am. Regular
readers will probably remember the limbless
tree-house dwelling character who frightened
me to death last month, and may even be
wondering what the hell he thinks he's doing
Irving alone in a jungle with onlv the beasts of
the trees and fields as company.

Well, wonder no longer, for I can
exclusively reveal that Hamish "Stumpv"
McGregor (for that is his name), is living in
exile; banished b\ the evil Lord Albert
Rankpants from his ancestral home for refusing
to pay the 95% radish tax which was
unilaterally imposed on the profits made each
year from his vegetable farm . Not only this, but
before he was forced off his land. Stumpy was
thrown into Rankpants' private piranha
aquarium as an extra punishment. This would
normally have ended in certain death for the
victim, but Stumpy was well renowned for his
1 .11 k of personal hygiene in the foot department
(ie he only owned one pair of socks, and hadn't
dunged them for over thirty years), so after the
piranhas had removed his legs in a terrible,
boiling feeding frenzy, they had had more than
enough. Stumpv saw his chance, and despite the

rible pain, he managed to drag himself away
from the pool and the furious Rankpants who
was weeping tear* of anger at the sight of so
many of hiv prized fighting fish floating brIH up.
A normal man would has* died from blood
bat but the bad d ion that had plagued

Stumpy for most of his life turned out to be hi
saviour. Only a COUple of pints c preserving

fluid had been lost when he was found bv the
local blacksmith v the terrible state that

stumpy was in, the blacksmith Sized up the
situation immediately and realised that the
terrible wound* would need instantly cauterising
it his life vs as to be saved. So, with his eytt
streaming from the intense heat and an
armadillo between his teeth to bite on, Stump*
found himself being lowered -feet'" first into the
blacksmith's fire. Tfu 1 pain was unbearable and
intense, but it was the price that had lo be paid

it hi* life was to be saved.

A few weeks later and Stumpv had more or
le« recovered. The blacksmith had offered to
make him a pair of false metal legs tree of
charge, but Stumpy didn't base time to wait
around. He knew that Rankpants' men were on

Valhalla: Before the War Err, help! Docs

Beneath a Steel Sky:
Looks like a scene from a
Harold Lloyd film

the lookout for him, and unless he left
immediately for a place where he would never
be found, his life would aKvays be in danger.

The blacksmith knew of an old, deserted
treehouse in a far-off jungle that would be the
perfect place tor his new friend to see out the
rest of his days safely. So, without further ado,
he packed Stumpv into a large rucksack, hoisted
him on to his back and set off for the jungle.

The treehouse was in fairly good nick when
thev arrived, and after making Stumpy feel at
home, the blacksmith returned home to look
after his business. That was the last time the
treehouse had received a human \ WtOf (prior to
my arrival - even though I am not strictly a
human myself;, and Stumpv has spent the last
fifteen yean making friends with and learning
the ways of the various members of the animal
kingdom which inhabit the area.

It took me quite a while to recover from this
4or>. and when I had convinced myself that
Stumpv was telling the truth, I couldn't stop I
broad g >m spreading across my face. Here

at last was someone who knew the whereabouts
of Lord Albert Rankpants! But what about the
WoofMocket diamonds? Did Stumpv know
where thev were! Would he help me on mv
quest! Can sou wait till next month?

I am here to serve.

Leather Goddesses of Phobos

Can you please help me with Infocom's
Leather Goddesses of Phobos? The
things I am stuck with are the answer to
the Sultan's riddle and how to exit from
Cleveland. Could you also tell me how to enter
the dungeon under the library in Infocom's
Plundered Hearts?
Ian Oakes, Durham

Leather Goddesses of Phobos? My, my,
we arc a wild young scamp aren't we
Ian? The answer to the Sultan's riddle
.K tu.illv lies within the riddle, I shall say no
more, and to leave Cleveland you will have to
pull the sod to reveal the exit

To enter the dungeon in Plundered Hearts
you need to get the hat and the treatise of
power, men touch the sinister portrait. Nou
enter the portrait and nou should find yourself
in the dungeon.

Beneath a Steel Sky

In Beneath a Steel Sky I know I need the
video from Gilbert lamb's apartment
but I have no Idea how to get it. Please

can sou help me?

Also, we the readership on!) know you by

the name of Son of Boggit. Are you hiding

tomcthmg? What is your real name!

Andrr* Nkhol, Stratford

To get me video von will need logo to
the lift in Lamb'* apartment Mode You
then meet lamb and he will tell

Simon the Sorcerer: Simon has a cold so he's unaware of the stench from the compost heap

you to feed his cat. Use Reich's ID card on the
door ilotj and after pressing the button on the
food dispenser, go over to the booki ase and pick
up the video of Pussies Galore.

fbf viiur linal question Andrew, I'm afraid
that revealing my real name would result in
instant ridicule ftwn the readership mi mil

magazine, so I think I'll keep it under mv hat for
the time befog.

Theme Park

Please can you give me .1 < 1 1 < -.» « i<> give

me more money on Theme Park. I am
always going broke.
K.n Dohtrty, SaHord

Apart from holding down the 'C key
when disk three is loading, >ou might
want to try this tip which was sent to
me by David Balaam of Chelmsford.

When buying land for the second time (ie

when you sell the UK land), don't click on ans
spots, Clii k on the tick in the bottom right band
COmef instead, and if all goes to plan you should
be set up in a place called Inflation Rate a Kind

where you pay no land tax and no interest. Try it
every time and it should work sooner or later.
Ta very much David.

Simon the Sorcerer

I am stuck on Simon the Sor | . I
can't find me staff and I can't get j
to the tower. Please help me before I

smash the A1 200.

Richard Shurrock, Fleet

The reason you can't find the staff is
because it is in the tower. To get into
the tower you need to use the < lapper
on the hell outside. Then simplv climb up id
Rapiin/et-like hair which appears and you'll he
inside. Use the woodworm on the floorboards
and the ladder on the hole which appears. Go
down the ladder and open the scar\ looking
tomb. You'll find .1 bandage at the back ofl me
mummy and you should use this to get the staff.

Well, that's your lot for another month. I'll
endeavour to bring you further news 01 my new
friend, Hanmh "Stumpy" McGregor, next
month, and if I manage to persuade him to help
me on mv quest, we'll be setting out for
Rankpants' domain without dela\

w isb me lu< k readers.

Until next time, farewell!

Nothing In This Book Is True,
But It's Exactly How Things Are

Bob Frissell -£10.99 Available from Airlift Books

Well, having skimmed through it we're not all that convinced that
this is 'exactly how things are', but then again we're hardly
renowned for our open-mindedness here at Amiga Action.

Written by the 'legendary' Bob Frissel, this book draws together every paranoid
alien/government conspiracy theory known to man and attempts to link them all
together in one giant hypothesis of exactly what's going on and just how much is
being held back from us.
There are people out there who are more than happy to swallow this kind of stuff
whole, but you'd really have to be Johnny Gullible to put any kind of faith whatsoever in what
this bloke's going on about. Just to prove our point here's a random quote from the book:

"An alleged major incident occurred in 1954, when our government (the Americans)
made contact with a race of aliens that has since become known as the 'Greys'. Evidently they
landed at Edwards Air Force Base, met with President Eisenhower, and signed a formal treaty."

Yes, that's right mate. There was old Eisenhower sat around an oak table with a bunch
of aliens shaking hands and signing a treaty. I suppose that when it was the aliens' turn to sign
they made a mark on the paper using a special laser built into their finger did they?

Believable? Interesting? Laughable? Most certainly the latter two and definitely worth
a read whether you believe in it or not.

Pulp Fiction - Cert It

Touchstone

Available to rent April 25

PolyGram Video

Mudhoney
My Brother the Cow

Reprise

After the patchy but somehow

rather good Piece Of Cake album

of '92 and the Five Dollar Bob's

Mock Cooter Stew mini-album,

Mudhoney return to the glorious

days of old. It's not quite up to the standard of the

classic single Touch Me I'm Sick, a song which

relaunched the dinosaur of American alternative music

in the late '80s, but It's pretty damn good nonetheless.

Mudhoney were hotly tipped for major success

a few years ago, but their limelight was stolen

somewhat by their labelmates of the time, Nirvana or

something they were called, and unfortunately they

seem doomed to remain in relevant obscurity.

Highlights of My Brother the Cow include

Today, Is A Good Day, Into Your Shtick and 1995. As a

whole it's their strongest sounding album in years, and

as a special bonus the CD includes the last three quarters

of it playing in reverse! Who said the guitar was dead?

We don't condone all this quoting lines from
films by a certain director who shall remain
nameless, and we certainly don't think it's
clever to use the word 'genius' in every other

sentence to describe his work or constantly harp on about how many times we've

seen Reservoir Dogs. But, even we have to admit that Pulp Fiction is a highly

enjoyable film which, at just over two hours long, simply flies by.

We've heard it described as several stories superbly interwoven into one,

but personally we think you should forget all this analysing rubbish and just watch

It- It stars John Travolta. Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and loads of other famous

people whose names escape us for the moment, but it's enough to say that

everyone puts in a good performance.
Pulp Fiction is an

unmissable film, unless of

course you're unfortunate

enough to be under 18, in

which case you'll have to

find some seedy back

video store which

is willing to break the

law and rent you a copy.

No Escape - Cert 15

Available to buy, Guild Home Video - £10.99

Ray Liotta, star of the straight-to-video market, has come up with
yet another no-holds-barred action fest, this time set in the not too
distant future - 2022 to be precise. Ray plays Marine Captain John
Robbins who is convicted of murder and sent to a ruthless maximum
security prison run by a sadistic warden who has the ultimate
solution for its most troublesome inmates - Absolom.
This is a top secret location where prisoners are abandoned and left
to die. It's a prison where, according to the video box. there is only

one rule: survival of the fittest.

As the "plot" develops, the prisoners in Absolom split into two groups:

the Outsiders, savages who live by force and violence, and the Insiders, a smaller

group of peaceful men led by their spiritual leader. The Father.

Let's be honest, this was never going to win any awards, but if It's alt-out

action and excitement you're looking for you can count on No Escape to provide it.

No Roundell this month, food
poisoning apparently. Hmmm.
Anyway never mind, we've
dragged Chicken in to have a go
at saving the sinking ship

MY FIRST LETTER

Dear Wall [good start!,
I'd like to congratulate you for a
crap mag. Well it's not that crap,
it's just crap okay. It's gone
downhill from around issue, hmm,
let's see, 33. Look at the logo for
example, it was much cooler then.
a nice blue, red and white one. A
bit more imaginative than a plane
(sic) yellow one don't you think?
And the Super Leagues only used
to take up a double page. You
could fill up those other two pages
with this letter. Here are some
questions that only God can
answer:

1) What the hell does AGA stand
for? Agnus Advanced Aardvarks,
Advanced Graphics for Argos? You
may have explained it in the mag
but I've only started buying it
again recently.

2) Is it just me or have I spotted a
mistake in a mag that declares
itself the world's best Amiga mag?
(Bland question so when m Rome
do as Paul does.]

3) Is Mr McNally related to Alfred
Chicken as they're both dickheads?
Ion dear!}

4) Why are Paula, Agnus and
Denise so cool?

5) Why are the Prodigy so. [okay
we get the gist}.

Prophet of Rage, Hades

How unfortunate for you that I'm
writing these pages on the month
you choose to start slagging me
off. Ah well, we'll go through the
motions of answering your
questions in a minute, but as for
the logo, well look at it this way:
I'm sure that in years gone by your
mum and dad had their front room
painted in ridiculous colours like
banana and rust or something, but
as time went on and fashions
changed they sacked this two-tone
farce and painted it white. The
same with our logo. It looked
eighties, in fact it was eighties,
and now it's as recognisable as it
ever was, just not multi-coloured!
Erm, what exactly did you want to
know again?

1) AGA? I'll answer your question
with a question. Why do you care?

2) Even the best make mistakes,
you're just a bit sad for spotting
that one!

3) Are you sure I'm the dickhead?
After all it isn't me who's writing
to a computer magazine asking
what AGA stands for is it?

4 & 5 etc) Because they just are!
Now away with you.

POOH-POOH-POOH-
POOH-POOH

Help! Aliens have just landed m my
back garden [Is this some kind of
wind-up 7 He hasn't really got food
poisoning has he? You're just
bullying me with all these mad
letters.) They all look like small green
versions of that bloke from the
crystal maze with pointy ears. I think
they have got black leather thongs
and bondage gear with them. They
might want to carry out some sort of
sexual exoenment [at this ootnt
there were a lot of references to
backsides which we could never print

don't care, I just want a proper letter

I am writing, if you o*eese. to, ow do
you say. make you hav?ng th«

[sickly unking fee

I am assuring you it is of the
most easyeest to be read. He is of

him the information on the
joystick and also sending him the
picture Simple! I am also used to
be having the Michael taken out of

ndeculeeling heem is not nice. I am
also of the thinking that you

having the joke at my axent.

So I am wanting now for you
to be sending the five games from
the cupboard for the star letter. I
thank you.
Ossie Ardiles, [erm, Tottingham]

It's not fair. The first letter was
abusive, the second was positively
mental, and now this! No wonder
Commodore is in the state it is. If
you won't write proper letters I'm
off. I'm packing my bags and
going. We toil hard every month
to produce this bloody magazine
and the only responses we get are
from Scotsmen doing impressions
of some Greek version of Ossie
Ardiles. Did I ask to do this? I don't
think so!

GET YOUR BIG ISSUE!

I have been buying Amiga Action since September '92
and I think it should be cheaper because I only get £20 to
spend each month. £15 of this money disappears on
school dinners and the measly £5 I have remaining buys
Amiga Action. Over the last five years I have only bought
two games - Streetf ighter II and Mortal Kombat for my
Amiga 600. 1 have been dying to play Super Streetfighter
H. Mortal Kombat II and Shadow Fighter, but I can't
afford them.

The only thing I can suggest to make my life easier is
that either Amiga Action should be cheaper or you could
send me one of the games I have been dying to play. I
would be very, very grateful.
Yours dying of boredom, Wahid Khan, Bradford

Were always open to suggestions Wahid, and yours is
one of the most sensible we've ever received. From next
month Amiga Action will be absolutely free! We'll have
fifteen coverdisks each month and every reader who
sends us an SAE will receive it back by return of post full
to bursting with diamond necklaces and enormous lumps
of pure platinum.

Obviously none of this is true, so I'll take on the role
of your temporary financial advisor instead. Let's look at
the facts. You get £5 a month to spend, that's £1.25 a
week or just over 17 pence a day. You blow £3.99 on
Amiga Action leaving you with a pound and a penny (or
just over three pence a day). What are you complaining
about lad? It'll only take you 833 days to save up for a
new game, and by then it'll be out on budget (see letter
above). Oh sod it. you can have Shadow Fighter.

AT LAST!

Less than seven months ago I
bought the superb MicroProse
wargame "Fields of Glory" and
have enjoyed playing it immensely.
However, I paid almost £36 for rt
and now the game has been
released on the new Power Plus
range for only £17, almost £20 less
than it was selling for a couple of
months ago!

While I understand that games
will inevitably be re-released as
budget eventually, I'd have
thought that MicroProse would
have had the decency to wait a
while longer, say until the game
was a year or so old,. before
reducing the price.

I, and no doubt everybody else
who bought the game, feel a little
cheated, knowing that if we had
waited a mere couple of months
more, we could have got it at less
than half the price. In future I'll be
very wary of buying new full-
priced products.
David O'Conner, Dinnington

And then there was light! Could it
be a real letter? MicroProse
obviously saw fit to release the
game on budget feeling that it
was not going to sell many more
copies at full price. £17 is still quite
a lot of money for a reduced price
game, but I understand your
point. Having said that, you say it
came out seven months ago, and
assuming you bought it straight
away, you have been playing it for
quite a while. I believe we will see
more and more games coming out
quickly on budget in the near
future as companies try and make
as much money as possible from
the Amiga platform. There, that
was serious enough.

THE CHOSEN ONE

When I entered into the Amiga
world about 12 months ago, I
bought every Amiga magazine I
could. Obviously this took a fair
amount of my cash so I decided to
cut down, and seeing as I would
like to get more involved with the
technical side of the Amiga (as it is
obviously a very powerful machine
with great potential and is a real
home computer as opposed to
those word processors that profess
to be multi-tasking when we all
know that there is only one true
multi-tasking computer), I would
only buy one games magazine in ^
the future.

TALKBACK AMIGA ACTION

►

Now it may or may not please
you to know that it is your
magazine that I have chosen to
continue to buy. The reasons for
this are quite simple really.

First off, your reviews seem to
be honest and the personal
preferences of the reviewer rarely
interfere with their thoughts on
particular attributes of games,
unlike other mags who slag off and
mark down games just because
they're not the type they're
interested in.

I remember reading a review in
one magazine about a battle of
the beat'em-ups, and Mortal
Kombat II was given the vote over
Shadow Fighter purely because
MKII was better known and it
would probably sell more copies
over the Christmas period. WHAT
UTTER TOSH! I am not a particular
fan of beat'em-ups, but if a game
comes along and knocks the
number one game off the top spot
then it should be given the verdict
and the number one title.

Secondly, you do not abuse
your readers for sending letters in
and you reply in a professional
manner [are you sure you've sent
this in to the correct magazine?],
and if you have no answer then
this is admitted. The other two
games magazines seem to have
taken it upon themselves to stand
on a pedestal and humiliate their
readers and supporters who dare
to communicate with the ALL
POWERFUL ONES. Where is their
professionalism?

This brings me to my final
reason for choosing your
magazine: you listen to your
readers. I filled in your
questionnaire at the beginning of
the year and one comment I made
was that your cover designs do not
jump out at the potential customer
and say BUY ME! I also mentioned
that I considered them a bit drab
compared to other magazines.
Now, I may not be the only one
who made these comments, or you
may have ignored them
completely, but I have noticed a
change for the better in your cover
designs. Combined with the
manner in which you reply to
readers' letters, this leads me to
think that you took these
comments on board and acted
upon them. Good for you, it shows
that you are not cocooned in your
own egos and that you really do
value your customers.

Therefore my main reason for
buying Amiga Action is that it is a
professional magazine.
PW Casson, Bristol

You'll never know how close this
came to being the Star Letter for
that torrent of praise mate! It's
always good to get a
complimentary letter, especially as
these days we seem to have an
awful lot of people slagging us off
for little or no reason.

We always act on the feedback
we get from a Reader Survey,
after all there's little point in
running one and then ignoring the
results. As for your point about
the covers, we all think that our
Art Editor Fiona has been doing
some great work recently,
especially with the problems she's
faced trying to design something
round three or four coverdisks
which don't leave much room for
her to be arty and colour things in
like she did at school.

It's not for me to comment on
other titles but we're glad you've
chosen to stick with usl

MORE FAN MAIL

My boyfriend bought your
magazine today and I had a flick
through it (actually I only looked
to see if it was decent as it was
getting more attention than me!)
Anyway, I happened to stumble
upon your Talkback section and
really enjoyed it - the fact that it
was the only bit I understood
doesn't matter.

Please keep your witty
comments coming so that other
girlies who know nothing about
computer games (like me) can
enjoy your mag as well. Oh, and I
think James Sharpies does fancy
you and you should go for it!

Finally, do you give games
away for good letters? If so, I think
this is a good tetter and I would
like an easy, cute, walk around and
collect things sort of game, if you
have one spare. Thanx.
Louise "no nickname" Walker

Tragically Louise we can't help you
out. All our cute games are in use
at the moment, but maybe one
day. I thought you said you didn't
know anything about computer
games anyway?

Unfortunately I can't take all
the credit for the letters pages
because I haven't done them
before, but I'll bask in what little
glory there is. I thank you.

BACK TO NORMAL

I am writing to complain (for that
is your right as a consumer] about
your Giving the Game Away
section. In your April issue you

printed tips for Lords of the Realm.
These tips are virtually identical to
those printed in The One. Your
Zeewolf tips were also the same as
those in The One. You are often
hinting that you think The One is
crap (I agree, I'll never buy it
again), but you don't seem to
mind raiding their tips sections.
Needless to say, Daniel Wiley
doesn't deserve a prize for "his
efforts" as he either lifted the tips
for Zeewolf from The One or sent
tips to both magazines and was
rewarded twice.
John Valentine, Manchester

Ermm, you're right, you're
absolutely right, but unfortunately
we can't forbid readers from
submitting their solutions to more
than one magazine. We don't steal
tips from people (often), but
generally all the mags get the
same cheats at the same time.

I don't think we've ever hinted
anything about The One being
crap. I quite like it actually, for the
record (are you reading this
Andy?), but tragically they aren't
quite as sleek as ourselves.
Obviously.

ones!" Economic situation is
terrible, I'm just looking to leave
this country and to go west to find
job because here my monthly
wage is under 100 Dem!!! Next
three generations of young mans
will be without work, but my spirit
is strong and I don't give up, I am
not an autodestructive person.

In my country everything is
pirated and I am tired of pirates!!
There are no worse disaster of
situation when free man (ME!) was
born in the country of SLAVES, it is
GOD'S PUNISHMENT!

Please give me just a sign of
care, show your humanity, send
me few Amiga Actions please. You
know if you send me this I'll be the
happiest man in the world that
day. I need some hope and
something to forget (if only for a
moment) my problems. I will never
forget your generosity. It is really
sad that a true fan of your work
have not money. I am sure I will
never beg you for this. It is just
your goodwill. Will you help me or

not? Just please don't say
ignorance is bliss. My situation is
very hard, this is f***ing rat's year
and figures are moving fast, this is
really bad year for me! It ain't like
in the movies at all. I am in deep
s**t and I'm just wait some
s**tmans to dig me up - joke land
not a very funny one].

God bless you all! I wish you all
the best from me and my friends
who really respect your work and
your desire to make something
worthwhile!
Mario Merela, Yugoslavia

Right, fair enough. I don't quite
know where to start. I have to
admit to not understanding most
of your letter but then you
probably wouldn't understand me
if I wrote to you in Slavic! I'm
going to send you some mags if
only because I'm very, very scared
of you. Hopefully you'll get them,
what with postal restrictions and
all, so don't fret

DOMINIK WHO?

The thing that is really bugging me
at the moment is how the people
who only own consoles relate to
and describe Amiga owners. It
never really bothered me until I
watched a computer games
programme on Channel 4 and an
Amiga owner wanted help from
the Master! His reply was, "Yes,
you Amiga owners need all the
help you can get." That pushed me
over the edge, so when a couple of
my friends started going on a bit I
snapped and pointed out a few
facts to them about how they can
only buy a new game for their
consoles every three months
because of the extortionate price
of cartridges, whereas I can buy
maybe two or three games a
month for my A600...etc
Leighton Armstrong, Brighouse

Chill out Leighton, it's not worth
worrying about. Anyway, that's
enough of the letter-answering
banter for this month. Paul will
probably be back for the next
issue so direct your usual abuse
towards him! Bye then.

What the hell's going on?

Once again - the new Superleagues work
pretty much as they always did, only
instead of six bland pages of the pointless
lists that you seem to crave, we now have
four. The recommended boxes are top
games from each category that are still
available to buy in the shops - games that
we think your collection should include.
So, there you have it - the Superleagues
stay due to public demand, but we did
manage to bugger about with them a bit.
